There is no public API for checking the status of tasks.  A task is   really nothing more than a normal http request which is monitored by   GAE to retry it if it fails.  The real brains is in the task queue   which is simply a queue of URL's that app engine will fire off at a   given rate and retry failed requests. The only public method to check tasks (http requests) in this queue is   the console webpage.  Its up to you to monitor your tasks yourself by   storing some kind of status data in memcache or the datastore.

The kinds of changes to Activities and Places we're contemplating for future versions of GWT are primarily along the lines of using annotations and generators to automate the creation of PlaceTokenizers and ActivityMappers, for example. We're not talking about wholesale replacement, as we strive for API backward compatibility with each release.
