How to run multiple jmeter .jmx tests with multiple input files using jmeter.maven.plugin - maven

Question

I need to be able to run jmeter tests from jenkins using mvn and jmeter-maven-plugin.
Here is the file setup:
test_dev.jmx
test_dev.txt
test_dev_regression.jmx
test_dev_regression.txt
Here is the pom file used by the mvn command (below):
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</properties>

</testFilesIncluded>

<!-- This will pick up all the jmx file at below folder. -->
<testFilesDirectory>${input.jmx.folder}</testFilesDirectory>
<generateReports>true</generateReports>
<resultsFileFormat>csv</resultsFileFormat>
</configuration>
<executions>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
And here is the command we are using to run the tests:
mvn verify -DEnvironment=$TEST_ENVIRONMENT
As you can see, currently there are no regression tests being run. I'd like to add the regression test and it's input file into this pom so that both tests get run one after the other. The hang-up for me is the <threadgroup00.dataFile> property. What needs to be specified here to use another input file for the regression test? Or is there another way to run multiple tests with multiple inputs using this framework?
Thanks in advance!

As of version 3.0.0 you should now be able to do this, an example execution block showing the setup is:
<executions>
<execution>
<id>configuration-one</id>
<goals>
<goal>configure</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<resultsFileFormat>xml</resultsFileFormat>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>configuration-two</id>
<goals>
<goal>configure</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<resultsFileFormat>csv</resultsFileFormat>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>performance test one</id>
<goals>
<goal>jmeter</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<selectedConfiguration>configuration-one</selectedConfiguration>
<testFilesIncluded>
<jMeterTestFile>test1.jmx</jMeterTestFile>
</testFilesIncluded>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>performance test two</id>
<goals>
<goal>jmeter</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<selectedConfiguration>configuration-two</selectedConfiguration>
<testFilesIncluded>
<jMeterTestFile>test2.jmx</jMeterTestFile>
</testFilesIncluded>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
The IT test showing this behaviour (Which the above execution example was taken from) is available at here.
