Dependencies

There are no dependencies for this project. It is a standalone project that does not depend on any other jars.

Project Modules

  • heroku-deploy
  • heroku-deploy-standalone
  • heroku-maven-plugin

heroku-maven-plugin Build Status Maven Central

This plugin is used to deploy Java applications directly to Heroku without pushing to a Git repository. It uses Heroku's Platform API. This is can be useful when deploying from a CI server, deploying pre-built JAR or WAR files.

The plugin has two main goals:

  • heroku:deploy and heroku:deploy-only for deploying standalone applications
  • heroku:deploy-war for deploying WAR files

In addition to those two main goals, three additional goals are available:

  • heroku:dashboard to open the Heroku dashboard for the configured application
  • heroku:run-war to locally running WAR files
  • heroku:eclipse-launch-config to generate launch configurations for Eclipse IDE

Requirements

  • Maven 3.5.x
  • Java 8u101 or higher (versions < u101 might experience difficulties displaying build log output)

Global Configuration

Heroku API Key

This plugin uses Heroku's Platform API and thus requires an API key to function. If you have the Heroku CLI installed and logged in with heroku login, the plugin will automatically pick up your API key. Alternatively, you can use the HEROKU_API_KEY environment variable to set your API key:

$ HEROKU_API_KEY="xxx-xxx-xxxx" mvn heroku:deploy

Cookbook

Deploying a Standalone Application

Add the following to your pom.xml, but replace the <web> element with the command used to run your application.

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
      <artifactId>heroku-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <appName>${heroku.appName}</appName>
        <processTypes>
          <web>java $JAVA_OPTS -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* com.example.Main</web>
        </processTypes>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

You can then run the following command to deploy your application:

$ mvn heroku:deploy

Deploying a WAR File

NOTE: This requires that you use <packaging>war</packaging> in your pom.xml.

Add the following to your pom.xml.

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
      <artifactId>heroku-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <appName>${heroku.appName}</appName>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

This assumes your project will generate a WAR file in the target directory. If the WAR file is located somewhere else, you can specify this with the <warFile> configuration element. The <processTypes> element is not needed and will be ignored because the plugin will determine the appropriate process type for you.

You can then run the following command to deploy your application:

$ mvn heroku:deploy-war

Running a WAR File Locally

You can execute your WAR file locally by running the following command:

$ mvn heroku:run-war

This will start the web application in a way that is very similar to how it is run on Heroku. If you need more control over how the WAR file is being run, you can use webapp-runner directly.

Deploying to Multiple Apps

In most real-world scenarios, you will need to deploy your application to dev, test and prod environments. There are several ways of handling this.

Using Maven Profiles

Use a profile for each app, and configure the plugin accordingly. For example:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
      <artifactId>heroku-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <processTypes>
          <web>java $JAVA_OPTS -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* Main</web>
        </processTypes>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>test</id>
    <build>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
          <artifactId>heroku-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
            <appName>myapp-test</appName>
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </build>
  </profile>

  <profile>
    <id>prod</id>
    <build>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
          <artifactId>heroku-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
            <appName>myapp-prod</appName>
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </build>
  </profile>
</profiles>

Using System Properties

You can provide the application name as a system property like this:

$ mvn heroku:deploy -Dheroku.appName=myapp

Using a Heroku Properties File

This solution is best when multiple developers each need their own apps. Create a heroku.properties file in the root directory of your application and put the following code in it (but replace "myapp" with the name of your Heroku application):

heroku.appName=myapp

Then add the file to your .gitignore so that each developer can have their own local versions of the file. The value in heroku.properties will take precedence over anything configured in your pom.xml.

Plugin Configuration

appName

The name of the application to deploy.

<appName>my-app-name</appName>

The plugin will detect the appName from the following places in this order:

  • The heroku.properties file
  • The heroku.appName system property
  • The Maven configuration (shown above)
  • The "heroku" Git remote

For example, if you specify the heroku.appName system property, the Maven configuration shown above will have no effect. This is useful for deploying multiple apps.

jdkVersion

The JDK version to use for your application.

<jdkVersion>11</jdkVersion>

The plugin will look for the required JDK version in the following places, in order:

  • The Maven configuration (shown above)
  • The heroku.jdkVersion system property
  • The java.runtime.version in system.properties located in the root directory of your project

For valid values and the current default, refer to Heroku's DevCenter article about specifing a Java version.

configVars

Sets configuration variables for the application on each deploy.

<configVars>
  <MY_VAR>SomeValue</MY_VAR>
  <JAVA_OPTS>-Xss512k -XX:+UseCompressedOops</JAVA_OPTS>
</configVars>

Any variable defined in configVars will override defaults and previously defined config variables.

Note: If you adhere to the principles of the 12 Factor app, configuration should be strictly separated from code. Thus, you do not want to tie your configuration to your codebase. There are a few exceptions to this, like some JAVA_OPTS may be universal. If possible, you should not use configVars at all.

includes

Allows you to include additional files and directories.

<includes>
  <include>etc/readme.txt</include>
</includes>

Included files and directories must be located within your project root directory.

includeTarget

Allows you to disable automatic inclusion of the target directory. (Default is true)

<includeTarget>false</includeTarget>

This is useful in cases where you build a single fat JAR with all dependencies you want to deploy.

logProgress

Enables or disables logging of the source blob upload progress. (Default is false)

<logProgress>true</logProgress>

Enabling this will log the upload progress status at DEBUG level.

buildpacks

Defines the buildpacks used by your application.

<buildpacks>
  <buildpack>https://github.com/DuckyTeam/heroku-buildpack-imagemagick</buildpack>
  <buildpack>heroku/jvm</buildpack>
</buildpacks>

It can sometimes be useful to use more than just the default heroku/jvm buildpack for your application. In the above example, you can see how an additional buildpack is used to install imagemagick.

You can also define your buildpacks using the Heroku Dashboard or the Heroku CLI (i.e. the heroku buildpacks command).

processTypes

Adds process types to the generated Procfile for your application.

<processTypes>
  <web>java $JAVA_OPTS -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* Main</web>
  <worker>java $JAVA_OPTS -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* Worker</worker>
</processTypes>

The plugin will generate a Procfile for your application and include it. You can use this configuration to add more process types. It will also pick up entries in the Procfile within your project root directory, but the plugin configuration will take precedence.

warFile

Specifies the WAR file to use for heroku:deploy-war and heroku:run-war goals.

<warFile>custom/directory/webapp.war</warFile>

Normally, the plugin looks for a WAR file in target and deploys it. This means you usually don't have to configure this, unless you want to deploy a WAR file located somewhere else.

webappRunnerVersion

Configures the version of webapp-runner to use for heroku:deploy-war and heroku:run-war.

<webappRunnerVersion>9.0.30.0</webappRunnerVersion>

Advanced Features

Customizing the JDK

You can customize the JDK by creating a .jdk-overlay directory as described in this Dev Center article. This plugin will automatically include this directory if present.

Hacking

To run the entire suite of integration tests, use the following command:

$ ./mvnw clean install -Pit

To run an individual integration test, use a command like this:

$ ./mvnw clean install -Pit -Dinvoker.test=simple-deploy-test
