[Building Sakai] Conformation on Tomcat and Maven version for Sakai 2.9

Hi,
   I may have missed some announcements and am a bit confused about the proper version requirements for Sakai 2.9.
1- What tomcat version is recommended for Sakai 2.9.x. I think it is 7 what confuses me is that what happens when we dont follow the optional steps in the development walk through tutorial
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Development+Environment+Setup+Walkthrough

1. [OPTIONAL] Delete the default webapps from the webapps dir

   rm -rf webapps/*
   

2. Configure tomcat 7 to use the old tomcat 5.5 classloader dirs
   1. Edit conf/catalina.properties

      1. Add the following to the line that begins with "common.loader=..."

         ,${catalina.base}/common/classes/,${catalina.base}/common/lib/*.jar
         

      2. Add the following to the line that begins with "shared.loader=..."

         ${catalina.base}/shared/classes/,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
         

      3. Add the following to the line that begins with "server.loader=..."

         ${catalina.base}/server/classes/,${catalina.base}/server/lib/*.jar
         

   2. [OPTIONAL] Create the directories

      mkdir -p shared/classes shared/lib common/classes common/lib server/classes server/lib

2- Do we need to change this line in settings.xml
 <appserver.id>tomcat5x</appserver.id> to reflect tomcat 7?


Secondly, is sakai 2.9.x supposed to with with maven 3 ?  If so I am getting errors in building Fresh copy of Sakai-2.9.x-all

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when,you  looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
