Java 8 has reached end of support and will be deprecated on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Java 8 applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Java 8 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their deprecation date. We recommend that you migrate to the latest supported version of Java.

- Method Detail
  - createAppAdmin
```
public AppAdmin createAppAdmin(AppAdminFactory.ConnectOptions options,
                               Application app,
                               java.io.PrintWriter errorWriter)
```
    Creates a new AppAdmin that can be used to administer the designated App Engine application.
    
    Parameters:
    
    options - The options used to connect to the remote server. Must not be null.
    
    app - The application to be administered. May be null.
    
    errorWriter - A writer to which error logs can be written. The logs can be used for diagnosis if a failure occurs during operation. May be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a not null AppAdmin

```
public com.google.appengine.tools.admin.ApplicationProcessingOptions getAppOptions()
```
  - getAppVersionUploadClass
```
public java.lang.Class<? extends com.google.appengine.tools.admin.AppVersionUpload> getAppVersionUploadClass()
```
  - setAppVersionUploadClass
```
public void setAppVersionUploadClass(java.lang.Class<? extends com.google.appengine.tools.admin.AppVersionUpload> klass)
```
    Sets the class used for uploading the application to the server. Should only be used for advanced customization of the upload process.
  - setJavaExecutable
```
public void setJavaExecutable(java.io.File java)
```
    Specifies the location of a java executable, used when compiling JSPs. By default, the system property java.home is used to identify the currently-running JVM, and if that directory contains a file named bin/java (Unix) or bin\\java.exe (Windows), that is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    java - the Java executable to be used.
  - setJavaCompiler
```
public void setJavaCompiler(java.io.File javac)
```
    Specifies the location of a javac executable, used when compiling JSPs. By default, the system property java.home is used to identify the currently-running JVM. If that pathname ends with "jre", then its parent is used instead as a hoped-for JDK root. If that directory contains a file named bin/javac (Unix) or bin\\javac.exe (Windows), that is returned.
