I've found the eclipse-downloaded version of the SDK to be a
liability.  Nevermind the fact that it's always a week or two late - I
can live with that.  The problem is that it gets put in a
strangely-named path.

If you write tests for your app per the instructions at
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting,
you end up needing to create a ${SDK_ROOT} variable.  Every time you
update the SDK, you have to go look up the crazy path in the eclipse
plugins directory and copy/paste it into this variable.

By downloading the SDK and putting it in a common location, I just
need to edit the variable and change "appengine-sdk-1.6.4" to
"appengine-sdk-1.6.5".

Yes, this is a minor annoyance, but using Eclipse is a thousand minor
annoyances like this and each one I can purge makes me feel just a
little less like hurling my laptop across the room and becoming a
rubytard.

P.S. please star this:
