Google App Engine platform moves in for the kill !

Earlier, I wrote about Google App Engine platform's great limitation as the non-availability of Python programmers. However, they had promised in the CampFire in 2008 April, the support for new language runtime is just a matter of time. There had been several requests from the Java developer communities and PHP developer communities for enabling their respective skills. There had been some sort of suspense which would the Google's next milestone; 'will it be Java or PHP , both being popular ?' .  Microsoft Azure carried and went ahead with PHP.

Google App Engine platform now supports Java

For Google App Engine platform, the thumbs up went ahead with Java. This is a sound business strategy, I believe.  Although, not yet released, their decision shows us the path ahead.

Google AppEngine , Eclipse Plugin  and GWT - 'The chosen combination'

• GWT is a great product using which you can develop great UIs , that too supporting several Class A browsers. It allows you to produce optimized javascript while you develop and debug your panels using the famililar Java language.
  
• Eclipse IDE could be the most leading one among programmers, and you have a plugin provided by Google.
  
• Last but not the least , the Google App Engine platform remains the most competitive cloud provider for you to run your web applications.
