As you add / modify the source code (src/main/java/...) it's very useful to add
unit testing
to (src/main/test/...). The following resources are quite useful:
An easy way to keep your projects up to date is to use the maven [Versions plugin][versions-plugin].
mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
mvn versions:use-latest-versions
Note - Be careful when changing javax.servlet as App Engine Standard uses 3.1 for Java 8, and 2.5
for Java 7.
Our usual process is to test, update the versions, then test again before committing back.
