Datastore Location with Google App Engine / Java

Question

How can I customize the location of the datastore file while working with GAE/J.

The option --datastore_path doesn't seem to work with GAE/J.

And if it is possible, what option do I use in the maven-gae-plugin.

Answer 1

I assume you mean while running the dev app server locally. Try the --generated_dir option with <sdk>/bin/dev_appserver.sh:
--generated_dir=dir Set the directory where generated files are created.

The generated files include the local datastore file.
