[chef] application_java deployment updates (ATTN anyone out there who uses it!)

[Jesse Campbell < >]

Does anyone else use application_java?

Right now it uses a hack deploy that places things in a folder that somewhat (but not quite) resembles what the deploy provider would create.

I put in COOK-2523 which will convert it over to actually use the deploy provider and do it right.

Plus:

- deployments using application_java will look just like those from app_php, app_python, etc

- you can deploy from git (with either binaries or an extracted war stored on git)

Minus:

- anything that uses the old method will stop working because the files will get placed in a slightly different location (the current version will be inside "current" for example)

What are people's thoughts? Please respond here or on the ticket, i've had trouble finding anyone else who uses it :)

Thanks!
