The java-buildpack is a Cloud Foundry buildpack for running Java applications. It is designed to run most Java applications 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 --buildpack https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack
The total amount of memory available is specified when the application is pushed. See Memory for information on how this determines the memory available to a Java application.
The buildpack supports configuration and 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 configuration and 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.
