I am new to Syncope but it looks like just what we need for Identity 
management. I will have to 
make a couple of changes but first I thought to get a system up and running 
without any changes.
So I first tried the docker deployment, I was able to get this up but any 
tweaking was real hard
(as the notes said it would be) so I shifted to the Maven method noted in the 
getting started guide, 
this did not go well so, given that I wanted to make some changes to the code 
anyway I next 
build a new VM (Centos 7) and got java 12 and the latest Maven and the latest 
Tomcat up and 
running on it. I forked the GitHub repo and then made a working copy on my 
Getlab server so 
that the pull requests will be clean (I will Meld any code changes back to the 
forked repo from
my working that will be good in the default project).

I did find three things that I did need. 

1) the options for Maven changed with version of Java after 8 (in the up stream 
building.xml)

2) the patch program is needed to build one of the sub modules (again in up 
stream building.xml)

3) docker is needed for the PostgreSQL test (and I assume to docker one but I 
have not tried that yet)
     AND even on unix (where it is in general not needed) you have to set 
DOCKER_HOST to unix://localhost
     If it makes sense I will update builing.xml with that note, I have not yet.

After these changes I was able to build but could not do so following the 
instructions in building.xml. I had to 
first do:
mvn -PskipTests,all
then:
mvn -PskipTests,install

then I could do a 

mvn clean install

as much as I wanted without error. (I have been making small changes to
the code and testing).

I am not sure what might be wrong with my build setup, how can I trouble shoot 
this?

Second. Once I have a good source build what is the best way to deploy it to a 
tomcat
running on this (and another) system?
