To answer your questions: - Is it recommended over the other one? It's actually recommended to use the App Engine standalone SDK based plugin for now, due to some issues <https://b.corp.google.com/issues/36589995> with the development server in the Cloud SDK. See also the related discussion <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-appengine/5MbPJK-TXAY/discussion> for more details. - What is the relation to appcfg? Is it simply that appcfg is a component of the Cloud-SDK (where the Cloud-SDK consists of gcloud and related CLI tools)? The Cloud SDK based plugin doesn't have any dependency on appcfg. It uses the gcloud command from the Cloud SDK to manage operations (eg. gcloud app <https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/app> deploy). It still invokes dev_appserver, but this is a newer version (v2) than the one included in the standalone SDK (v1) and currently has some issues as mentioned above. - Will an upcoming version depend on the Google App Engine SDK for Java? No, as the point of the plugin is to move away from the standalone SDK and support the Cloud SDK. - I see that Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse interacts well with Maven, so that Maven can handle dependency management, goals etc. Does the Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse bundle/use the com.google.cloud.tools::appengine-maven-plugin? When you create a project using the template 'Maven-based Google App Engine Standard Java Project', it will create a Maven project using the appengine-standard-archetype archetype that uses the com.google.cloud.tools::appengine-maven-plugin. This is just a UX convenience for creating a regular Maven project that uses that same archetype.
