When you say clean build, you mean rebuilding the other modules? Yes, that 
should never be needed unless you make changes. If you run mvn clean install in 
the webapp-test directory, that will wipe out the whole installation and start 
over from the last built war, so there should be no reproducibility issues due 
to existing data (though there might be some due to general flakiness).

The reproducibility commits where so that tests could be run repeatedly from 
the IDE without cleaning the target directory or restarting the test server.

That said, the testing I think would be most interesting at the moment are the 
things the webapp tests don't cover - like pages where formatting doesn't look 
right. The Struts upgrade changed some of the HTML tags they rendered.
