GAE migrate Java 8 to Java 11; has the data type "Text" done away with?

Question

My GAE app is on Java 8 and I am desperately trying to meet the Jan 30 deadline for migrating to Java 11. Part of that migration process is to point to com.google.cloud instead of pointing to com.google.appengine in the POM. At present, the app's entity classes use this data type: com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Text; which is sourced from here in my POM...

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
    <artifactId>appengine-api-1.0-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.64</version>
</dependency>

But the recommended way for Java 11 is to replace the above dependency with this....

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-datastore</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

I checked the latest version (2.18.0) of the above dependency in the Maven repository and it turns out that the type that I have been using (com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Text;) is not present in the "recommended" jar.

Am I not looking at the right place? If so, which is the right place? If I am looking at the right place, then what should I replace com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Text; with?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I checked a few related stackoverflow questions but could not find an answer. I also checked a few earlier versions of google-cloud-datastore for the datatype "Text" but was not able to find it.
