Export/import datastore from/to Google App Engine

Question

I want to export the datastore that I have running in App Engine into my local "standalone" version of the application. Anyone know how I can do that?

I've been looking around in the App Engine dashboard but can't find it.

Nick, what about java? I only see this option for python. on a side note, can you take a look at this question for me too please http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9778095/appengine-datastore-change-entities-property ? – Win Myo Htet Mar 26 '12 at 01:53
@WinMyoHtet It's not really specific to Python - you can upload and download data to any instance. – Nick Johnson Mar 26 '12 at 08:26
As of 2017 none of this stuff works anymore. Your best bet is to take a look at this question and the accepted answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25530199/how-to-upload-data-in-bulk-to-the-appengine-datastore-older-methods-do-not-work. – Randy L Feb 21 '17 at 01:12

It seems that there is no separate doc for java version of this except that it is said to do with com.google.apphosting.utils.remoteapi.RemoteApiServlet in the doc Nick provided.

Tip: If you have a Java app, you can use the Python appcfg.py tool by installing the Java
version of the remote_api handler, which is included with the Java runtime environment. 
The handler servlet class is com.google.apphosting.utils.remoteapi.RemoteApiServlet.

Here is some relevant code example for java version of this API usage GAE/J datastore backup
