Google App Engine Tutortial Hello World Example Won't Run

[Dave in Austin via StackOverflow]

I am having difficulty getting to the starting line on my machine. 1) Windows 7 32bit all service packs installed 2) Installed JDK 1.7.0_21 3) Checked PATH that only one copy of JDK\bin is in path and that it is correct. 4) Installed Eclipse Juno Java bundle. eclipse-java-juno-SR2-win32.zip 5) Install Google App Engine SDK per the tutorial using: https://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 Selected: - Google Plugin for Eclipse - GWT - SDK Did NOT select: - Developer Tools (Android) - Google App for Android - NDK Plugins 6) Following the tutorial, pull down the Google Icon and select "New Web Application Project" - Name it Guestbook as shown - Uncheck GWT - Check Google App Engine - Finish 7) Following the tutorial, Run as Web Application

At this point, the console shows several successful steps and then crashes and burns with jetty unable to establish a loop back connection. The full console output is attached below. I have searched all over the web and have not been able to find anything. I checked PATH and JDK. I checked the Windows firewall rule for Eclipse, it looks OK. I looked at the Classpath tab but could not see anything obviously wrong (although I don't know what it is supposed to look like)

Any suggestions would be gratefully received...:-)
