Thanks for reporting @wido, I'll fix this soon. The failure implies that there is no management server reachable locally, by default the management server profile local is used which points to localhost:8080/client/api. Can you set appropriate url, credentials and see if that works? Also, can you try building latest master which has got new changes since last 2 weeks.
