Google App Engine now with Java
Google announced availability of their Google App Engine for Java. GAE is a pretty interesting concept – developing apps tightly coupled to a cloud computing provider infrastructure. SalesForce Platform (Force.com) and a few other smaller upstarts are offering alternatives here, but google appears to be the first one to have an offering based on Java and apparent support for a multitude of open source java technologies.
I haven’t tried the Java GAE yet (looking forward to it in the next few weeks), however this SDK should certainly play nicely with GWT, which Google is hinting will be part of it. It’s certainly enticing to have an integrated web platform based on Java with built-in robust Ajax framework and scalability of Google cloud computing infrastructure.
Can’t wait for Maven support for Java GAE with GWT.
Update: GWT is part of GAE Eclipse plugin. Nicely done.
