title: Custom Grails Environments?
body: <p>I have been developing several Grails applications over the past couple of years. I am increasingly finding that the three grails environments (dev, test, prod) aren't enough to satisfy my needs. The more "enterprisey" your application gets, the more environments you tend to have.</p>
  
  <p>I tend to use 6 environments for my development cycle...</p>
  
  <p>DEVA //My dev<br>
  DEVB //Team mates dev<br>
  CI_TEST //CI like Hudson
  QA_TEST //Testing team environment<br>
  UAT_TEST //Customers testing environment<br>
  PROD //Production</p>
  
  <p>Im wondering if there is a way to define custom Grails environments? I dont think there is, but the feature could be handy.  </p>
  
  <p>The way I am getting around this right now is by externalising the config to a properties file.  </p>
  
  <p>Id imagine that this is a pretty common requirement, so how have you been dealing with your environments?</p>
