How to deploy a maven web project using Wildfly to Heroku? - maven

Question

I've built a Java EE 7 web app on Wildfly 10.
I'm trying to deploy it to Heroku, but I can't make the application work.
All I could do, so far, was to get Wildfly to work, but it seems to be running without my application.
I pushed the application using git:
git push heroku master
And it is running the unpack goal.
The Procfile:
web: target/wildfly-10.1.0.Final/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.http.port=$PORT -b 0.0.0.0
The pom.xml
<!-- Commented to keep it simple -->

<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>

<plugin>
<groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>

You need to add your ear/war into your wildfly deployment folder. To do that you need a separate plugin or something that will do that.
I want to try this too, so I will for example use this plugin under ear pom:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.ear.plugin}</version>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>../pathto/deployments</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
You might need to use something else for a war.
To test it works just try compiling it and watch if your app is in the deployment folder.
