No, need to chose a special tag or commit. Clone of master should be fine.

That's a lot of failures.

No, logback build on different machines. However, on busy or slow
machines build failures occur frequently. Failures in
ContextInitializerTest seem to indicate that the tests are not run in
an independent JVM. Failures in ReconfigureOnChangeTest indicate that
the tests are run on a slow/busy machine.

It sucks that logback does not build on all machines.

IDEA licenses are date-based, at the least the license I have is. So
you should be able to upgrade to the latest version of IDEA with your
existing license.
