Hi Vlad, You should be able to develop and debug App Engine applications in Eclipse for Java EE in much the same way you would a GWT application, although there are a few key differences. I believe the main difference is that with App Engine, you will need to use its included Development Server ( http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/devserver.html) rather than your own app server (Tomcat, Jetty, Glassfish, etc.). The Development Server simulates the runtime environment of Google App Engine, and is necessary for testing datastore, login, etc.
Regarding multiple projects: we generally recommend using a single project if possible to keep things simpler. Also, the plugin may make it difficult to split across multiple projects, if you run/debug directly from your source WAR directory (project properties > Google > Web Application > Launch and deploy from this directory). In this scenario, the plugin automatically sets the project's build output path to <WAR>/WEB-INF/classes, so you'll probably run into some issues with multiple projects, since they each need to contribute class files and/or jars into that same WAR directory. However, if you use Eclipse for Java EE and run GWT with -noserver, multiple projects *should* work, since WTP will take care of populating WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib automatically.
