I just published a [Heroku Plugin for Play Framework][1]. Right now it just deploys a Play app to Heroku. Try it out:

  1. [Signup for a Heroku account][2] 
  2. Install the Heroku plugin locally: ```bash
$ play install heroku
```

  3. Create a Play (1.2.3 or 1.2.4) app: ```bash
$ play new foo --with heroku
```
    
    Or if you already have an existing Play app, add the follow line to the _conf/dependencies.yml_ file and then run "play deps -sync":
    
    ```yaml
- play -> heroku 0.2
```

  4. Deploy the app: ```bash
$ play heroku:deploy foo
```
    
    You should see something like:
    
    ```bash
~        _            _ 
~  _ __ | | __ _ _  _| |
~ | '_ \| |/ _' | || |_|
~ |  __/|_|\____|\__ (_)
~ |_|            |__/

~ play! 1.2.4, http://www.playframework.org

~ Deploying app to Heroku
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
Project directory: /home/jamesw/Desktop/foo
Read Heroku API key from /home/jamesw/.heroku/credentials
Created new ssh key pair (heroku_rsa) in: /home/jamesw/.ssh
Added the heroku_rsa.pub ssh public key to your Heroku account
Created a .git directory for your project
Added and committed all of the local changes to the git repo
Created app: cold-night-1511
http://cold-night-1511.herokuapp.com/
Added git remote: git@heroku.com:cold-night-1511.git
Deploying application via git push
Application deployed
~ App Deployed
```
    
    _Note: I haven't figured out how to pipe the git push output to the screen yet, so be patient when the app is being git pushed. It's working, just takes a minute._ </li> 
    
      * Check out your Play app running on the cloud! Use the URL in the "heroku:deploy" output. This should work with new and existing Play apps.</ol> 
    
    All of the [code for the Heroku Play module][3] is on GitHub. There is more I want to do with this (scaling, logs, etc) and your contributions are certainly welcome! Keep checking back here for updates and let me know how it goes!
