How to invoke the same maven build twice in one call

Question

Is it possible to invoke the same maven build a number of times with different configuration parameters?

I have a maven build that creates a number RPMs with the rpm

Answer 1

I believe the only way to achieve that during one maven execution is to bind several executions of the plugin (with different configurations) to a lifecycle phase, like this:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>test</phase>
                    <id>test-1</id>
                    <configuration>
                        ...
                    </configuration>
                    <goals><goal>test</goal></goals>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <phase>test</phase>
                    <id>test-2</id>
                    <configuration>
                        ...
                    </configuration>
                    <goals><goal>test</goal></goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
</build>

You can attach this configuration to some profile triggered by one property (e.g. by mvn package -Denvironment=all).
