Java Support for Google App Engine
By John | April 8, 2009
Running our internal and external apps on App Engine isn’t without difficulty, however, and we’ve learned a lot in the process. Tonight at Campfire One we released a new set of features — based on community and internal feedback — that helps App Engine interface more easily with businesses’ existing technologies:
- App Engine’s early look at Java™ language support includes a Java runtime, integration with the new Google Web Toolkit 1.6, and a Google Plugin for Eclipse
- The Google Secure Data Connector enables centrally-managed access to on-premise data from Google Apps
- The database import tool makes it easier to move gigabytes of data into App Engine (and export functionality is coming within the month)
- Cron support can execute scheduled tasks like report generation and DB clean-up at regular intervals
