Hi Jake, If we (as the Google Plugin for Eclipse team) do an FAQ on Maven + App Engine, it would be simply describe how to get such a setup working with Eclipse. I must admit that I have not worked through all the details yet, but in theory if you have an App Engine project working with Maven, using it with the Eclipse plugin should be similar to the bottom half of the GWT+Maven FAQ I referenced earlier in this thread.
The broader issue of documenting best practices for actually building App Engine projects with Maven in the first place would be better handled by the App Engine team. There appears to already be an issue related to Maven + App Engine integration: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1296 Keith On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Jake <jbrooko...@cast.org> wrote: > Hello, > > I would very much appreciate an FAQ for GAE + Maven - there are > several blogs/plugins/etc that attempt to set it up in a haphazard > way, but I feel like there should be a stable, "Google-approved" > method.
