How to deploy webapp to Appscale from Google Plugin for Eclipse?


I'm developing a Java Webapplication using GWT and Google Plugin for Eclipse. I started to use Appscale instead of Google App Engine, but not sure how to configure things to deploy webapp to appscale. Is there anyone who accomplished this? If so, please let me know how to do it.

(There is no eclipse plugin dedicated for appscale as of August 26th 2013.)


Solution

  • You can not upload your Java app by clicking "Deploy to App Engine" GUI button from Google Plugin for Eclipse, but instead, you can upload with Appscale command line client. (as of 2014-10-21)

    You can follow the instructions that GAE provides for writing an application in Eclipse. The code layout discussed there is fully compatible with AppScale.

    Make sure to use the correct version of the SDK described in AppScale's FAQ.

    After that deploying your app on AppScale is as easy as typing appscale deploy Guestbook from the command line.
