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

You can apparently use JDK8 to create JRE7 compatible byte code, and this seems to be what Google recommends: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/download
