Upgrade to Cloud Tools For Eclipse 1.4.0 appengine-api now missing

Question

I upgraded the Google Cloud tools to version 1.4.0 and now my projects do not have the appengine-api jar file. (Maybe others) Now I can a memcacheservice exception.

How do I get the appengine api jar back into the build path? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

I contacted the Cloud Tools people on github and they got me a workaround.

You have to take their appengine-api jar from their location and stick it in the web-inf/lib folder so that it can be found on your dev box.

Answer 2

We're working on this. I expect we'll have a CT4E 1.4.1 release that integrates the above workaround early next week; that is, around 10/31. That should suffice until the underlying issue in the Cloud SDK is fixed.
