Maven profiles can be used for this purpose. For example, You can have one
profile for non-continuum build, which can be activated only when the
Environment property project.version has a value of "
9.2.0-build-${continuum.project.nextBuild.number} ".
I think the syntax is:
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<property>
<name>project.version</name>
<value>9.2.0-build-${continuum.project.nextBuild.number}</value>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>
Not sure if this is the best approach.
