The java-buildpack is a Cloud Foundry buildpack for running JVM-based applications. It is designed to run many JVM-based applications (Grails, Groovy, Java Main, Play Framework, Spring Boot, and Servlet) with no additional configuration, but supports configuration of the standard components, and extension to add custom components.

To use this buildpack specify the URI of the repository when pushing an application to Cloud Foundry:

cf push <APP-NAME> -p <ARTIFACT> -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git

The following are very simple examples for deploying the artifact types that we support.

• Embedded web server
• Grails
• Groovy
• Java Main
• Play Framework
• Servlet
• Spring Boot CLI

The buildpack supports extension through the use of Git repository forking. The easiest way to accomplish this is to use GitHub's forking functionality to create a copy of this repository. Make the required extension changes in the copy of the repository. Then specify the URL of the new repository when pushing Cloud Foundry applications. If the modifications are generally applicable to the Cloud Foundry community, please submit a pull request with the changes.

Buildpack configuration can be overridden with an environment variable matching the configuration file you wish to override minus the .yml extension and with a prefix of JBP_CONFIG. The value of the variable should be valid inline yaml. For example, to change the default version of Java to 7 and ad
