I am not sure if what you are asking is possible since you are asking for the two final targets to be the same which is nonsensical.  I will have to defer to the experts.  Can't you just do two commands:

bjam debug
bjam release

Hi Chris,

I do not want to rename it. I want the last build application
executable to be in this exact location, so when the java build
process is executed it to pick it from there. In dev environment
whatever developers is building right now needs to go to the same
location. I need this to ensure that all the tests or debug that I
will do with the second layer will be acting over last build from the
first layer.

What I need is in case I have more than one build configuration to
skip all but one so I to avoid the collision.

Thanks,
George
