I am using Indigo on a Mac Pro (10.9.1). I updated to Java1.7 in order to run some updated Google Play Service samples. Under Installed JREs, JAVA7 is shown as the only and default choice, which points to the new Java path. But when I start Eclipse, it started complaining that "JRE version is 1.6.0; version 1.7.0 or later is needed to run Google plugin for Eclipse".
I tried to add the vm option in eclipse.ini, i.e. I added
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/home/bin/java
above "-vmargs" as described here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.
It doesn't make any difference though. Since then, I have uninstalled GPE from Eclipse and installed them again via "install new software" from https://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7. Still the same problem. Under Google->App Engine, there is an error message "Failed to initialize App Engine SDK (path)". This points to appengine-java-sdk-1.8.9.
I have checked my Java version using all means I am aware of, i.e. from run Java -version, using Java's control panel, output from code... They all show I am using Java 1.7.0.51.
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Google has provided a solution that works great. Add this argument in eclipse.ini
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_WHATEVERTHESUFFIXIS/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib
Make sure that eclipse Is compiling your project to 1.7 specifications. Even though you have 1.7 selected as your virtual machine, it might be compiling to 1.6. It's in the eclipse project settings

I downloaded the newest version of Eclipse on an M1 Macbook Pro.
I downloaded the plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace. It's version 6.0
I made a new project, and when I get to the "finish" screen, I get this error:
Then, if I click finish again I get this error, which is the error that keeps showing up no matter how many times I click finish:
Some stuff ends up actually getting built in the project:
My professor doesn't know how to fix it, and there's nothing on Google. How can I make this work normally like it's supposed to? Thanks :)
The plugin is no longer supported for newer versions of Eclipse as we migrated to maven a while back.
You have two options
Use an old Intel version of Eclipse that predated the change to work with a legacy project.
Migrate the project to a Maven project which will work with all IDEs and doesn't use the plugin at all.
I am trying to use Google App Engine on Netbeans 7.2. I get the plugin from http://kenai.com/downloads/nbappengine/NetBeans7.2/ , but when I am running it, I get "Missing value for property jvmargs".
I use sample project, so there shouldn't be any problem at all.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Check and make sure your PATH environment variable includes the Program Files/Java/jdk.#.#_##/bin directory. If it is pointed at something else it probably won't work that's what my problem was. Make sure your project is using 6 JDK or lower because google app engine does not support JDK 7 at this time.
Found a post somewhere that said to use the plugin for Netbeans 6.7 which does mostly work in Netbeans 7.2.1.
Had to do the following to get it working.
- Goto Plugin->Settings and add
http://kenai.com/downloads/nbappengine/1.0_NetBeans671/updates.xml
- Goto Plugin->Available Plugins search for Google and install all the appengine plugins
- Create a appengine server under services
- Create a new project for an app server other than appengine (i used glassfish)
- After the project is created goto properties->run and switch to app engine
- Add false to appengine-web.xml
I'm running Windows 8, Netbeans 7.2.1, jdk1.7.0_11
Is there any pluggin or alternative way to use Google App Engine on Netbeans 7?

I managed to get it to work with netbeans 7.0 by using the kenai plugin for Netbeans 6.9: http://kenai.com/downloads/nbappengine/NetBeans69/updates.xml.
Here you have the installation instructions. Of course: replace the links proposed with the link I provided (which is not listed on the page itself... Actually I found it by removing /Latest_NetBeans68/updates.xml from the other path).
I think it stopped working with 7.0.1 though.
A new plugin version for NetBeans 7.2 is available.
The settings file is located at
https://kenai.com/downloads/nbappengine/NetBeans7.2/updates.xml
Installation instructions (for older versions) are here.
I just created a .jsp file in my google app engine project. How to resolve the below error.
Description Resource Path Location Type
Your project must be configured to use a JDK in order to use JSPs
proj1.jsp
/Proj1/war Unknown Google App Engine Problem
Kindly let me know.
it is the error. In order to compile jsp you need a jdk installed in your system. If you are running on a JRE you will get this error. Also make sure that your project has been configured with a jdk in it's path.

.jsp file not working for Google App Engine guestbook tutorial
the accepted answer was a year ago
updated answer from reference
In the end I seem to have wasted my bounty as I found the solution (with a little help) myself.
The problem arose because I was unfamiliar with Eclipse. When I found the more verbose error message Your project must be configured to use a JDK in order to use JSPs guestbook.jsp.
It was located in a tab called 'Markers' in pane found at the bottom of the Eclipse window.
It seems that Eclipse wasn't aware that I had installed the JDK.
In Eclipse I went to menu Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs . Eclipse had only one entry there named jre6 I clicked the Add... button Chose Standard VM and browsed to the base directory of the jdk (in my case C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20)
I rebuilt my project but the same error was there. I had forgotten to check the box that tells Eclipse to use the jdk instead of the jre.
As soon as I did that Eclipse rebuilt my project and the error was gone.
To solve this problem, first please confirm that JDK is already install on your computer. If it not available, go to Oracle JDK hompage to download and install it.
Then follow some steps to config JDK.
When JDK is configured, return eclipse and build project if you still get current error, I decide you are using JRE instead JDK. Choose Prefrences - Java - Install JRE - Un-check JRE and check JDK
Rebuild project
Hope this help!
Set JDK as your Installed JREs in Eclipse.
In Eclipse Window->Preference->Java->Installed JREs
Click on Add Button | Select VM ->Add JRE
Select Folder of jdk as "JRE Home" Directory.
Click OK.
Build your GAE Project
JFTR:
For those who use Ubuntu and OpenJDK, and may come here looking for help on the same issue: EVEN when it is called Open*JDK* (i.e. java-6-openjdk) actually you may have installed only the JRE part since they are on different packages, so you need to install also the JDK. For version 6 this is done via:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Note that you may have yet an openjdk-6-jre in your system.
If your problem persist, you must sure that in your project use JDK library. Go to your project->click right->Build Path->Configure Build Path->Add library->JRE System Library->Select "Workspace default JRE (jdk1...)"->Finish, and in "Order and Export" UP your JDK Library above JRE Library. When you save your proyect it´s ok.
I've installed the Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.4 and it seems to work fine.
But when I start a new Web Application Project, it wants me to configure the Google App Engine SDK. I click on Add App Engine SDK, but it doesn't recognize my (valid) GAE SDK. It comes back with "Failed to initialize App Engine SDK at %path", no matter what path I give it.
Are you trying to use the Java or Python SDKs, and are you sure you downloaded the right one?
If Python, remember that the Google Eclipse plugin is currently Java-only.
Does your SDK run if you start dev_appserver from the command line? I had a similar problem once and it was because the script wanted to ask me about automatically checking for updates - once I'd answered the question and exited the appserver I was then able to add it to Eclipse.
Have you checked your "path" environment variable to include
;C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\
I had this issue. I downloaded the java zip package and extracted it manually but it turned out that the zip file was either corrupted or messed up during the extraction. Regardless, downloading the package again and re-extracting it fixed the problem for me.
Also, if you are on Python use the PyDev plugin for eclipse and start a Google AE project that way. Use the Google Eclipse plugin for GWT, Java->Js stuff.
