Google Adds Java to App Engine
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 9th Apr 2009 08:21 UTC, submitted by ahmetaa
Google It's been a long time coming, but yesterday Google has announced that Java will be available on their App Engine. While the SDK is available for everyone to develop their applications locally, the initial sign up allowing people to upload their applications to the App Engine is limited to 10,000 users. The Java environment provides a Java 6 JVM, a Java Servlets interface, and support for standard interfaces to the App Engine scalable datastore and services, such as JDO, JPA, JavaMail, and JCache.

Also means JRuby on Rails, if you google around you can find more info. I still like heroku more the GAE, but the more options for rails in the cloud the better

Will they need to reimplement some stuff on java.awt to support their UI?

Which UI?

This article is about the App Engine, Google's web application infrastructure. Web applications generally don't use much of java.awt ;) .
