How can an application know that it is running on Google AppEngine?

I am trying to find a way to make my Java Appengine application discover whether it is running on the Appengine servers or inside the development environment mini-server. I would like to do this programmatically, not via some property file or other configuration option. Anyone got any ideas?

Version 1.3.0 of the SDK added some system properties you can check to get this kind of info:

com.google.appengine.runtime.{version,environment}

Inside the App Engine the following system variables are set: http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/appengine/docs/java/runtime.html#The_Environment
With System.getProperty it should be easy to test if your running in the App Engine.
