Does Google App Engine support Java 8?

Question

Trying to get started with Google App Engine - does it work with Java 8?

I\'ve followed the instructions on this page: https://console.developers.google.com/start/ap

Answer 1

If your interest is in using lambda expressions on Google App Engine, you could give Retrolambda a try. I haven't tried it yet, but it claims to backport Java 8 lambda expressions to Java 7.
