+1.
I don't think GAE will be as successful as for example EC2 if they only
support a subset of the JDK libraries. And +1 to build up pressure on
them to support the full JDK libs.
Yes, this pressure will be inevitable.
Currently, it seems Google only wants to host apps, not middleware
(they
do that themselves)...
Absolutely - GAE is a PaaS. That doesn't make them any less relevant or important
though - if anything, more important (easier end-user experience, simpler deployment and
maintenance -> more popular in the long run?).
