> https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/525 for FINERACT-700 struggles to get "./gradlew integrationTest" working under an up-to-date Gradle version, due to the gradle-tomcat-plugin failing to start Tomcat. The problem can also be seen (on that PR, as it stands right now) via {{./gradlew tomcatrunwar}}.
> https://github.com/bmuschko/gradle-tomcat-plugin mentions that its author "I don't have much time to contribute anymore. In practice this means far less activity, responsiveness on issues and new releases from my end."
> What we IMHO really should do instead is to ditch our use of gradle-tomcat-plugin and just use Spring Boot's very nice built-in support for Integration Test, see here:
> * https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.1.5.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-applications
> * https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-testing (see 7. Integration Testing with @SpringBootTest)
> * https://reflectoring.io/spring-boot-test/
> I wouldn't have time for this, but perhaps someone would like to pick this up?
