There are two manual steps involved - one documented, and one not (yet)
documented:
* To run the reload tests, tester relies on being able to log on to the
"manager" web app with username "tomcat", which must be assigned role
"manager" in the conf/tomcat-users.xml file. For obvious reasons, this
is not the default -- you will need to add it yourself.
* The default build target in the tester directory does not install tester
-- it only compiles the code. To install it:
cd tester
./build.sh deploy-main
