Google App Engine adds Java (and many other JVM-based languages)

[Bryan Sant]

Hooray.  Google is now supporting Java.  More accurately, they are
supporting the JRE 6 environment.  So almost any JVM based language is
now available too -- Groovy, JRuby, BeanShell, Scala, Clojure, etc.,
etc.

Here is the official GAE announcement:

Here's what works on their JRE:
