Adding to Jim's answer, you could use Google Cloud Managed VMs <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/> that allow you more flexibility including to be able to run the AWT library like in this example <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-java-vm-guestbook-extras>.
If you'd need even more flexibility you could use custom runtimes <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/#custom_runtimes> for your Managed VMs. On Sunday, April 12, 2015 at 9:20:42 PM UTC+2, Jim wrote: > > We've made limited use of POI on GAE, but as you say the classes that use > the java.awt package will not work.
