Eclipse Google Plug-In doesn't start server for web application

Question

I want to try the Google Eclipse plug-in for the Google App Engine, but I get stuck in the tutorial...

I want to start the web application from the Google tutorial,

Answer 1

It is because your launch configuration file (location: WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches)is corrupt. All you need to do to solve this problem is to delete the existing launch configuration (in Run > Run configurations)

Answer 2

The problem occurs when using blank spaces in the project name.

"Run Configurations> Arguments > Program Arguments", insert quotation marks in the project path. i.e.:

--port=8888 --disable_update_check {PATH}\My Project

To:

--port=8888 --disable_update_check "{PATH}\My Project" 

I found it from this thread

Thanks a lot

Answer 3

Check if your Eclipse Project or GAE SDK has spaces in the path.

Answer 4

Some additional information to what's already been said.

You need to install "m2eclipse" otherwise you will not have the "run as" option.
