The reason why I need to run the locally built artifacts is I have changed the application code and want to verify it in a cluster. So I cannot use downloaded releases.
./gradlew assemble builds the distribution artifacts (tarballs etc.). Once built, you can unpack them and run them similarly to a released artifact. The details are in the contributing guide.
