You can use any Java compatible libraries with the Java runtime on the App Engine flexible environment. These instructions use Apache Maven to build, run, and deploy the sample app. For details about installing Maven, see Using Apache Maven and the App Engine Plugin.
Declaring and managing dependencies
To manage dependencies using Maven, you need to specify the dependencies in
the <dependencies>
section inside the
pom.xml
file of your project.
Specifying the Java servlet library
Eclipse Jetty and Tomcat apps require the Java servlet library. Specify it in
your pom.xml
file's <dependencies>
entry:
Note that frameworks such as SparkJava or Spring Boot will not require the servlet library.
Using the Cloud Client Libraries
Cloud Client Libraries for Java provide idiomatic access to Google Cloud services. To use a library, declare it as a dependency.
Typically, you only declare dependencies on the specific libraries that your app needs. For example, to use the Cloud Storage library:
You can configure the Cloud Client Libraries for Java to handle authentication automatically.
