the GAE isn't cross-compiling, javac is doing the compiling (the real java compiler), so it's kind of a moot argument. The point is, the system runs java, not g-java, not pseudo-java, it's java. It just doesn't have all the libraries you want. That's all. It's written in the Java programming language (or Scala, or Groovy JRuby or anything else that runs on the JVM) and runs on a JVM... it's Java.
