More Advanced Requirements to run

1. Install Java 8 SDK
2. Install Eclipse JEE Edition (I used Neon)
3. Install Maven 3.3+ (optional since Eclipse comes with maven)
4. Import project into Eclipse via git
5. Alt-F5 to ensure Maven is synched
   At this point, you could use step #4 from the minimum requirements
   OR
6. Install Tomcat 8.0+ (I used 8.5 when I made this)
7. Install above could be done through eclipse, but if done separately, need to add the tomcat server installation to eclipse.
8. Run-As -> Run on Server
   Verifications steps should be the same
