Cloud Portability from SpringSource and Google

SpringSource and Google recently announced collaboration on several projects to make cloud applications more productive, portable, and flexible. These projects will enable Spring developers to build rich web applications, use Google and SpringSource performance tools on cloud apps, and deploy Spring Java applications on Google App Engine.
Google also announced support for Spring Java apps on Google App Engine in support of a shared vision to make it easy to build, run, and manage applications for the cloud. VMware and Google are also working together to combine the speed of development of Spring Roo with the power of the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) to build rich browser apps.
