Is it possible to use New Relic with GAE/J?

Is there a way to run New Relic Server Monitor with Google App Engine for Java?

New Relic docs say that Python GAE is not supported , but there is no mention of GAE/J. GAE/J uses modified Jetty, which is supported by New Relic, but I was not able to make it work the standard way and I haven't found any information about the matter anywhere.

No. Doesn't new relic require you to add an agent to the system? You don't have any access to the actual "server" in GAE. It's all virtual and managed by them. I would recommend if you want to monitor your site for uptime signing up for something like pingdom which will alert you if your site stops responding.
