I already have this... Yesterday I found out that one of my dependencies 
has a profile that is activated when I use the IBM JDK for building... 
This mad the EAR undeployable on the SUN JDK, because this dependency 
(jaxp) is probably included in the JDK for SUN.

So, I think my best solution would be to run Maven twice on all my 
projects -- once for SUN and once for IBM. Only question is, can I do 
this in a single go and how can I do this in the release-phase...

As I pointed out, this will not solve my problem completely, because I 
need 2 artifacts!

If this can do what I want, then it might indeed be worth looking at. 
I'll give it a go in bit, I think I have some time today.
