Getting 404 Not Found error message when trying to push a Java application to Cloud Foundry

Question

I've been deploying a Java application and trying to push it to the Cloud using the PaaS Cloud Foundry but it seems like one of the routes can't be accessed when I am trying to push my application. Also, I am using Anynines ( https://www.anynines.com/ ) for the Cloud Foundry part (and I checked, this is not an authentication problem). The exact error log I get when putting the verbose mode on is:

I've been searching everywhere I could to get an answer to my problem but no one seems to have the same as me... If you could help me that would be extremely nice of you:)

EDIT:

I have found the problem, I only had to remove the "-" at the beginning of my manifest.yml, as it was written here: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest-attributes.html ( Note: If your app name begins with the dash character (-), you cannot interact with the app using the cf CLI. This is because the cf CLI interprets the dash as a flag ).

Now I have another problem to solve though: it seems like I have to choose a buildpack...

Error staging application: An app was not successfully detected by any available buildpack
