Create war file in Maven. You can do this by referring here
Install the Heroku Toolbelt from here
Open the command prompt (for Windows) and type:
```
heroku login
```
It will prompt to enter user name and password. Enter the credentials of your heroku account.
Now, to install the heroku-deploy plugin, enter the code:
```
heroku plugins:install heroku-cli-deploy
```

Now deploy the war file to the heroku server by this code:

heroku deploy:war --war <path_to_war_file> --app <app_name>

If you are in an application directory, the --app parameter can be omitted:
```
heroku deploy:war --war <path_to_war_file>
```

Your App will be successfully deployed to the heroku server.

This helps me a lot. I was planning on hosting JIRA on a heroku server, the --app option is what made it a bit clearer for me how to deploy the JIRA war file on a heroku app. Although I'm a bit unclear on how to create a new app without an actual working source code base. — thorne51, Mar 17 '15 at 21:41
