Missing files when enabled Google App Engine SDK after GWT project is created

[hezjing]

Hi

Eclipse complaints the appengine-web.xml file does not exist when I enabled the Google App Engine SDK after created a GWT project.

Here are the steps I performed:

1) File->New->Web Application Project

Check use Google Web Toolkit

Uncheck use Google App Engine

Finish

2) Right click project->Google->App Engine Settings...

Check use Google App Engine

Problem: the appengine-web.xml file does not exist!

This problem can be fixed by selecting the quick fix, and appengine-web.xml will be created automatically.

Unfortunately when the project is launched, it failed to locate war\WEB-INF\logging.properties and commons-logging.jar

I'm wondering, if Google plugin should automatically perform the following when we enabled Google App Engine SDK?

1) Create appengine-web.xml

2) Create logging.properties

3) Add commons-logging.jar into referenced libraries

This problem does not exist if I checked both GWT and Google App Engine while creating the project in step 1.

Good find, definitely looks like this flow could be improved. If you
don't mind, could you please file a bug in the issue tracker at
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list ?

Thanks,
