title: How to use Cloud9 with Java and Heroku
body: <p>I'm currently experimenting with the idea of having a full cloud development environment. I decided to go with Cloud9 IDE and deploy my app on Heroku while using GitHub to store my code. As Java is my most comfortable language, I'm adopting it for my app. </p>
  
  <p>Now the Heroku tutorials use Maven for Java packaging. Is there any way I can replicate this in Cloud9, or can I skip the Maven altogether? Or must I manually put in all the pom files myself?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I do intend to install Toolbelt on my local machine, but there will be times when I want to do coding when I'm not at home and don't have access to the local server. I'm more interested in knowing if it is possible to not have any dependence on a local machine at all.</p>
