Versioning issue with appengine-java-sdk-1.9.24 and Eclipse

[Ken Bowen]

I downloaded  appengine-java-sdk-1.9.24.zip from https://cloud.google.com/appengine/downloads,  unzipped it, and Added it to the SDKs in my Eclipse plugin.  But when that was done, the Version for it only showed as  1.9.22 (previously I had  appengine-java-sdk-1.9.20 installed).   Then in Eclipse, I used Help > Check for Updates, but that only showed as available:  Google App Engine Java SDK 1.9.22.   However, my logs on GAE are showing app_engine_release=1.9.24 being used.  How can I get app_engine_release=1.9.24 as the SDK in my Eclipse plugin?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ken,

Normally we suggest, to get the latest version, to use the downloads link. It's peculiar that this is happening. Just to be 100% sure everything was done the proper way (before I go and reproduce this to send it up), I assume you followed these instructions (or something equivalent?) when installing your plugin?

So to keep the public thread updated (in case someone stumbles) Ken confirms to using those downloads.

I've therefore created an issue tracker about this (link here) and as you can see, we are aware of the issue, it is now being tracked, and we will be working on fixing this soon. 

As a side note, this really just affects the version counter, not the content of the SDK in any way

Cheers!

Ah sorry, forgot that emailing a reply to Patrice wouldn't get posted here.

I'm confused by:

  > As a side note, this really just affects the version counter, not the content of the SDK in any way

Are you saying that when I downloaded appengine-java-sdk-1.9.24.zip and it identified itself inside Eclipse as 1.9.22, that I had /really/ gotten 1.9.4??

...... /really/ gotten 1.9.24??

Hi Ken,

No issues about the message not being sent. As long as what's written ends up here for other viewers, it's fine :).

It would've been REALLY troublesome if you got 1.9.4, no? :P

Seriously though, this is indeed just a cosmetic error. The label wasn't changed to 1.9.24, but the content of what you're getting IS 1.9.24, we just did a thorough double check to make sure.

Cheers!
