George, I'm sure you're right about Maven being the better way to do things. Here's the reason why I haven't gone there. I've been working with the Google App Engine Eclipse plugin since 2010 or so. I recently switched to the new plugin, Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse. After installing that plugin, I was prompted to convert to a Google Cloud Tools project, which I did. Since I wasn't using Maven before, my project was converted to a non-Maven Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse project. So now what I need to do is convert a non-Maven Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse project to a Maven Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse project. I haven't seen that particular work flow mentioned anywhere in the docs. Any advice, any experience?
