   Really good questions @rzo1 .
   The `tmp` directory in the github action I created on master was basically inherited form what I saw on buildbot: https://ci.apache.org/builders/tomee-trunk-ubuntu-jvm8/builds/1426
   
   > * Do we need it here too?
   I think we don't need it. My understanding is this was required in buildbot but now we are not using it on Jenkins and I don't think we need it on Github Actions.
   
   > * Should we align the `master` workflow with this changes too? 
   Yes, I think we should remove this from master: https://github.com/apache/tomee/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml#L23-L24

   I like it too, I'm familiar with Jenkins pipelines, and having the ability to see specific step when something went wrong is easier than trying to search within a unique file with a lot of data. To implement this approach on master will require to double-check the result we currently have when executing the profile created a couple of weeks ago that has been useful for TCK related work: -Pstyle,rat
