Heroku buildpack: Java (with Apache Ant)

This is a Heroku buildpack for Java apps. It uses Apache Ant 1.9.3 to build your application and OpenJDK 1.6.0_27 (currently) to run it.

Usage

Example usage:

$ ls
Procfile	build.xml	libs		src

$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/dennisg/heroku-buildpack-ant.git

$ git push heroku master
...

The buildpack will detect your app as Java (using Apache Ant) if it has the file 'build.xml' in the root. It will use Apache Ant to execute the targets 'clean install' defined by your build.xml.

The Ant executable is unpacked inside your slug directory in '.buildpack' and is therefore also available for running the actual Java application too (I added its bin folder to the PATH).

Example Procfile:

web: ant run

Config Update

If you have been using this buildpack before, the upgrade from 1.9.x to 1.9.3 now requires a heroku config update.

Please issue:

heroku config:set ANT_HOME=/app/.buildpack/apache-ant-1.9.3
heroku config:set PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/app/.buildpack/apache-ant-1.9.3/bin

to make it work again...

Hacking

To use a modification of this buildpack, fork it on Github. Push up changes to your fork, then create a test app with --buildpack <your-github-url> and push to it too.
