Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse

Welcome to the documentation Wiki for the Cloud Tools for Eclipse!

What is it?

Cloud Tools for Eclipse is an Eclipse plugin that assists in creating, running, and deploying applications targeted to Google's Cloud Platform. The current feature set includes:

• Creating and importing App Engine Standard applications (both Maven and non-Maven)
• Locally running and debugging App Engine Standard applications (via Eclipse's WTP Tooling)
• Authenticating and deploying your application to Google's Cloud platform
• Managing Google Cloud Platform client libraries in your Eclipse projects

Don't you already have the Google Plugin for Eclipse?

Cloud Tools for Eclipse is focused purely on Google's Cloud Platform, whereas GPE focused on App Engine, GWT, and a blend of other Google Developer Features.

Cloud Tools for Eclipse replaces the Cloud features of GPE. The remaining GWT functionality in GPE has been spun out as a separate plugin, and GPE itself is no longer available.
