Spring boot application deployed on heroky returns empty response (no headers, no data)

I have created a simple Spring boot app and deployed to Heroku. It builds and runs normally, and no errors are displayed in the logs, but when i try to access the application on insomnia, it gives me the following error description: Error: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data).
The application works perfectly when running on localhost.
Here is my Procfile:
web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -Dspring.profiles.active=prod $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/seniorerp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Why is Heroku attempting to run newrelic-agent.jar instead of my app?

My app was working, it's working in staging, but after pushing that build to production, Heroku is running this command:
java -Dserver.port=12366 -javaagent:target/newrelic-agent.jar -jar target/newrelic-agent.jar
Why is Heroku trying to run newrelic-agent.jar instead of my app's jar?

https://projectxserver-production.herokuapp.com/ deployed to Heroku
After re-deploying a few times, it started using the correct jar. Is Heroku picking up a random one?

Heroku tries to automatically figure out the command to run your app when it detects that you are using Spring Boot. However, since the new-relic JAR is in your target/ directory, it thinks that it is your app.
You can fix this in two ways:
Put the new-relic jar in a different directory (Heroku recommends target/dependency or similar).
Create a Procfile and explicitly tell Heroku the command needed to run your app.
If you create a Procfile it will probably look like this:
web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -javaagent:target/newrelic-agent.jar -jar target/projectxserver-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Then run:
git add Procfile
git commit -m "Procfile"
git push heroku master
You can see the logic for the default command in the Java buildpack's bin/release script.

Building Spark with Maven: error finding javac (but path is correct)

I'm trying to build a Spark 1.5.0 snapshot, on Windows. Firstly I ran make-distribution.sh using Cygwin (which pulled Maven etc). Now I'm running
mvn -DskipTests clean package
and getting this error, suggesting it can't find javac.

This questioner How to build Spark 1.2 with Maven (gives java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "javac")? had a similar problem - it was fixed by fixing the environment variables. I think mine are ok:

Shutting down zinc first should solve your problem. See the documentation here
./build/zinc-<version>/bin/zinc -shutdown

Another way is to change the pom.xml of spark and comment the line
<!--<useZincServer>true</useZincServer>-->

mvn tomcat7:deploy takes too long to deploy?

I am using tomcat7-maven-plugin to deploy my spring batch admin application,
below is my configuration in pom,
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<!-- Tomcat 7 has a different manager path - text - than other versions -->
<url>http://localhost:8081/manager/text</url>
<username>myusername</username>
<password>mypassword</password>
<path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
<update>true</update>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I am running,
mvn clean install tomcat7:deploy
Though it completes successfully, it takes too long to complete this command nearly (4-5 min).
Below is the output of command. It takes lot of time to receive response after uploading war file. You can observer below output, it took 4.16 min.
It worked pretty fast till it displays the message "uploaded .." but after that it keeps waiting for response for 4-5 min.
I need to deploy application on multiple servers (5 servers) so it will take 25 min which is too long for only deployment.
