1. Install the Google App Engine SDK for Java. You should either add appengine-java-sdk/bin to your PATH or set the APPENGINE_JAVA_SDK environment variable to point to your installed sdk.
1. Install JRuby 1.3 or later from http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/ . You probably want the jruby-bin.zip and jruby-complete.jar files.
2. Download jruby-rack

When looking at GAE/J, it’s important to keep in mind the security restrictions that Google has been forced to implement, to make the Java implementation totally safe for them. This includes restrictions of many kinds, and some of them might come as a bit of a surprise in some cases. One of the larger things you will notice is that some classes aren’t available – and you will get a ClassNotFoundException if you try to use them from your application. Personally, I believe that using a SecurityException when trying to load these might have been better, but this fact remains: many classes you expect will not be there.

App Engine now supports the standards that make Java tooling great. (We’re working on the tooling too, with Google Plugin for Eclipse). It provides the current App Engine API’s and wraps them with standards where relevant, like the Java Servlet API, JDO and JPA, javax.cache, and javax.mail. It also provides a secure sandbox that’s powerful enough to run your code safely on Google’s servers, while being flexible enough for you to break abstractions at will.

The App Engine Cron Service allows you to configure regularly scheduled tasks that operate at defined times or regular intervals. These tasks are commonly known as cron jobs. These cron jobs are automatically triggered by the App Engine Cron Service. For instance, you might use this to send out a report email on a daily basis, to update some cached data every 10 minutes, or to update some summary information once an hour.
