How are practices for delivering java applications to servers being used now?

Question

Java

What means of delivery and installation of java applications on servers are currently recommended in the java world?
Let's say there is an application for Tomcat (or standalone). How can I install it and the set of libraries it uses on a remote server?

Answer 1

Had experience with heroku and openshift
Both provide a custom git repository where you push your maven project. The system itself builds the project with a maven, pulls dependencies and deploys to the server.
Openshift, you can simply fill in your already assembled war archive.
Their documentation is normal, read it and everything will become clear.
