Well not Java. Android is also not Java. This is the beginning of fragmentation if Appengine is allowed to go down this road. Seemingly Sun struck some deal with Google. I doubt any other company would get the same liberties.
Could you give an example of classes in the JRE lib that would be a stability risk and an explanation why that is? I give a simple example that is not possible with this whitelist. We just tried to add an image caption to an image. Loading images is impossible. Doing anything with fonts as well. I have like half a dozen other scenarios where appengine just fails. If you are in the middle of a project and realize that a certain feature is not achievable just drives you crazy. The argument that one should check before using appengine is moot. I checked. Most projects however 'develop' over time and need features nobody could have possibly foreseen.
