To run one or other of the downstream jobs, it currently not a simple case as, but there are are several different ways of doing it.
Use a groovy post build script to trigger one of the builds You could use the Parametrized trigger [1] in combination with the conditional build step plugin,[2] to run the jobs as build steps within a job. This would mean having a conditional buildstep for each of the platforms, where the environment variable is checked which contains the trigger build on other projects for the correct project. If you want to use the conditional part with the Parametrized trigger as a trigger for the downstream properly there is a pull request for that on github, that you can build and test.
