What are Google's plans for Java development on App Engine? Last year Ggoogle stopped supporting Java 8 on App Engine. The GCP plugin for Eclipse was killed. The only option seemed to be to use IntelliJ with Cloud Code for Java 11+ development.
This screen shot is from Google Cloud Code in IntelliJ. App Engine Deployments to Java 8 was deprecated almost a year ago. Not sure why it is showing this now. Our app has no Java 8 in it.
So, we moved to IntelliJ and Java 11. Now this appears in the documentation for "Create an app for the App Engine Standard Environment in Cloud Code for IntelliJ" at https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/create-standard.
I don't understand. What Java dev tools are being used for App Engine Standard? Is anyone doing new development on App Engine Standard...should we abandon it? How does one debug/test locally?
