You can probably use build.sh; I don't use it myself, so I'm not sure of
its usage or what else it does for you (I believe it copies the config
files into place, etc.). Personally I just use "./mvnw clean package" and
then my own scripts, since I'm using the external Tomcat and deploying on
multiple servers.
The WAR will not have the config files from cas-overlay-template/etc/cas in
it; the default setup from GitHub, even with embedded Tomcat, expects them
to be outside the WAR in /etc/cas. I suppose you could set things up to put
them in the WAR, but you'd need to shuffle some things around in the
overlay (move etc/cas into src/main/<something>) and maybe make some
changes to the build instructions in pom.xml. I've never done this myself,
but maybe someone else on the list has.
