Hi Stefano, 1) Please open a pull request. If the String depends on the locale, this looks like a bug.
2) "mvn clean install" is the way to go for the complete check. If you only want to run certain tests, selecting and running them from IntelliJ works pretty well. In addition, it is nice to push a version of your changes to Travis which builds it for you in the background. It takes longer to build then on a fast machine though.
