[Note: The Information in the following post is out of date. Please use the Grails Heroku plugin instead ( edited Dec 19, 2011 )]
Heroku recently announced Java support. In this post, I will show you how to deploy Grails applications into Heroku using the Maven support available to Grails.
Heroku recommends building a jar file and executing this against an embedded Jetty instance. This solution simply does a simple grails run-app and is inspired by the Play! framework support in Heroku. ( BTW, why Roo & Play! and not Grails? )
Updated Sept. 02 – using jetty runner in the example.
