Maven Wagon plugin: Can wagon:upload upload to multiple locations? - maven

Question

I'm looking into the Maven Wagon Plugin to attempt uploading some artifacts to remote UNC Server shares (\\servername\share\directory\to\put\to), and I have gotten it configured to work like so in the POM:
<build>
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-file</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-7</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>upload-jar-to-folder</id>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<goals>
<goal>upload</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<fromDir>${project.build.directory}</fromDir>
<includes>*</includes>
<url>file://localhost///${servername}/${sharename}</url>
<toDir>directory/to/put/artifact</toDir>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
</build>
This works great for one server when I pass in -Dservername=x -Dsharename=y, but how can I scale it out so I can run a deploy for QA or Prod where I have multiple servers to deploy to?
I've considered (and written) a script to run mvn wagon:upload -Penvironment# multiple times--once for each server--but this seems flawed to me. If I'm shelling out to a script to handle this process, I could just as well script out the entire deploy, too. However, this takes away from the usefulness of Wagon (and Maven)...
Is there a way to run multiple <executions> for one goal? For instance, running multiple profile configured wagon:upload tasks when I just run mvn deploy -Pqa?

If you want to use multiple profiles you could just use: mvn deploy -Denv=qa and trigger some profiles on this property and define the configuration for your severs in the profiles. For this kind of profile activation look at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
and search for
-Denvironment=test
Here's an example POM which does two executions of the maven-antrun-plugin in one build:
