Clone java-identity-provider, apply patch(es), cd into idp-parent and do a mvn install. If that doesn't produce the final artifact, you may have to manually build it via idp-distribution/ via mvn package.

The package output of idp-distribution is a ZIP or tarball that is exactly what we release, just differently named, and is always safe to install on top of a version that's at least as old or older, it's the same as doing a real upgrade.
 
You may want to change the idp-parent POM version to something custom I guess, if you want all those jars versioned in some recognizable way. That POM version is what labels all the rest of the modules' output.
