This might cause some issues. Have you tried setting up python 2.5 , 64 bit version.

http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.5/

You should try and go for that version so that you do not face any compatibility issues with App Engine.

Here is the set of steps to get the GWT sample working and uploaded on App Engine.

 

1. You need to download ant to be able to generate the eclipse project files. Download ant from the link below

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

 

2.Go into the directory of the Mail sample (gwt-2.1\gwt-2.1.1\samples\Mail) and run the following command from command line.

ant "eclipse.generate"

 

3. Import the project in eclipse using File -> Import -> Existing Projects into workspace

and follow the workflow.

 

4. Right click on the Mail project and click on properties

In the Properties windows navigate to Google ->Google App Engine section.

Click on the Use App Engine checkbox and click on ok.

 

5. Since the project is missing appengine xml it will show up as an error in the problems tab within the project. Right click on the line item The appengine-web.xml is missing and click on quickfix

This will generate the app engine xml file.

 

6. Right click on the project and click on properties. Click on Google -> Google App Engine link and in the page fill in the Application ID corresponding to the application that you have created. This is the same as step 11 above and you can follow step 12 to complete the deployment.

The approach described in the post works for Linux too, no changes required. Step 2 for installing the Java runtime is described below, so you can change to the Sun JVM.

 

To change the JRE, you can use the Ubuntu Update Manager or Synaptic Package Manager to install Sun Java 6.

(For Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick meerkat , you need to activate first the partner repository, to do that, go to System-->Administration-->Synaptic package manager then go to settings--> repositories and activate canonical Partners)

 

Once you have installed java, you need to update references in your Linux installation to point to the Sun Java installation. Following are the steps for that:

• Open a Terminal window  

• Run sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the current configuration and possibilities.  

• Run sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun  

• Run java -version to ensure that the correct version is being called.

If you are facing issues with installing the plugin directly through Eclipse here is an alternate approach. After completing steps 1,2 for installing Eclipse, follow the steps below:

 

3. Install the Google Eclipse App Engine Plugin Manually:(Check the section For Eclipse 3.5)

http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip.html

4. Download Google App Engine SDK for the url below
http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/appengine-java-sdk-1.4....
Extract in any specific location on your local drive

5. Download Google Web Toolkit SDK
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-2.1.1.zip
Extract in any specific location on your local drive

6. Restart Eclipse and try creating a Web Application Projects
- Double click on eclipse.exe.
- Select File->New->Web Application Project.
- Type in the project Name and package name.
- Select the checkbox for Google App Engine and click on configure SDK to point the location of sdk extracted in step 2.
- Select the checkbox for Google Web Toolkit and click on configure SDK to location of sdk extracted in step 3.
- Click Finish.
- If you do not see this menu option, select the Window menu > Reset Perspective..., click OK, then try the File  menu again.
- If you don't see the project type it means your installation was not correct.

Continue to steps 9,10,11,12,13 as above.

Anoop would be great if you could post the corresponding links/urls for the Linux setup.

I have tested this on Linux (Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat) with Firefox and Eclipse 3.6, works like a breeze. No problems with this.

If you are using Linux, I suggest you download the Sun JVM and install it, rather than using gcj and OpenJDK that ships with the Linux distribution.
