There's no documentation beyond the walk-throughs posted elsewhere: Hugi and I 
have very slightly different ones up on gist.github.com:

I presume that's what you've already been using, so just post your questions 
here.

There is no (WebObjects-specific) documentation. There are at least two ways 
you could do this:

1. Set up a free-standing Maven repo like Artifactory:

https://jfrog.com/artifactory/

You'd then get Maven to deploy your build products there, ideally as part of 
some kind of automated process, e.g. using GitHub Actions or Bitbucket 
Pipelines. Finally, you could then pull the app and webserverresources bundles 
to EC2 from Artifactory. This is quite a heavyweight solution, and would 
involve a lot of work.

2. Build your bundles locally with "mvn package" and then scp them up to EC2.

This one I don't know off-hand.
