New Eclipse web application project can't find my gae sdk

Question

I installed the Google plugin for Eclipse 3.4 and it seems to work fine.

But when I launch a new web application project, he wants me to configure the Google App Engine SDK. I click on the Add App Engine SDK, but it does not recognize my (valid) GAE SDK. It returns with “Failed to initialize the App Engine SDK on path%”, regardless of which path I give it.

Answer 1

Are you trying to use the Java or Python SDK, and are you sure you downloaded the correct one?

If Python, remember that the Google Eclipse plugin is currently only available for Java.

Answer 2

Does your SDK run if you run dev_appserver from the command line? I had a similar problem, and precisely because the script wanted to ask me about the automatic update check - as soon as I answered the question and left the application server, I was able to add it to Eclipse.

Answer 3

You checked the environment variable "path" to enable

; C: \ Program Files \ Google \ google_appengine \

Answer 4

I had this problem. I downloaded the java zip package and extracted it manually, but it turned out that the zip file was either damaged or corrupted during the extraction. Despite this, downloading the package again and re-extracting fixed the problem for me.

Answer 5

Also, if you use Python, use the PyDev plugin for eclipse and run the Google AE project this way. Use the Google Eclipse plugin for GWT content, Java-> Js.
