Description

We perform three different builds using three jdks configured as environments within continuum. We also use Maven profiles to specify classifiers for those builds. For example, our artifacts look like:
[artifact]-WAS7.ear (built with IBM J9 1.6 JDK)
[artifact]-JBOSS.ear (built with Oracles 1.6 JDK)

When we to a prepare release, we are allowed to specify environment. The prepare relese creates the tag, etc. However, in our situation, we only want one tag per release number, but we want to generate three released builds off that one tag. The code is not changed per environment, so one tag is sufficient.

When we perform a release, we cannot specify an environment (and corresponding Maven profile for the classifier), so we cannot specify a different environment for the release.

I would like the ability to tag once and generate three different environmental releases builds, each one compiled against a different JDK.

We are not using distributed builds at this time.
