A Blog created using Spring MVC. Evernote is used to create/update the blog posts.

1. If you want to suggest changes, then fork and send a pull request. Or just add an issue.

1. Ensure you have Java 1.8 and Maven 3.2.3 installed.
2. mvn clean install -U in the app dir.
3. If you are planning to use Heroku, then download the Heroku toolbelt. This will also download foreman.
4. Deploy.
5. One way to deploy the application locally is to run foreman start web
6. java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war from the app dir. This is what foreman would do too.
7. Another way is to mvn tomcat7:run. This can be done from IntelliJ CE from the Plugins section of the 'Maven projects' pane.
8. 4.1 and 4.2 will host the app on localhost:5000, whereas tomcat7 will host on localhost:8080, by default. Confirm that a simple HTML page is displayed and has a title tag in head with Company.com as a value.

1. heroku create
2. Edit your pom.xml to add the generated (or custom) app name in the <profile> section. I.e., replace immense-plateau-6256 with your newly generated app name.
3. Deploy
4. First way to deploy to heroku is by using a git remote. git push heroku master . This will push your local code as well as execute a maven compile and deploy the generated war.
5. Second way : assuming that you had performed a mvn clean install or mvn package locally, you will have a *.war file ready to be deployed. Using the included heroku maven plugin, execute mvn heroku:deploy-war -P test.
6. If either of the above 2 steps work out without issue, then heroku open to see the website live in your default browser.
