-It can be built with a simple `mvn install`. 
 A minimal CF application manifest is provided in [manifest.yml.](manifest.yml)
+To avoid naming conflicts, the name of the app should be changed in the manifest before building it.
+The app can be built with a simple `mvn install` (requires Apache Maven 3.6.3).
 This allows to deploy the newly built app with `cf push`, provided a login to a CF instance.
