Migrating from the Google Plugin for Eclipse

The Google Plugin for Eclipse supported a broad range of Google products. It will not be supported past Eclipse 4.6 (Neon). This page describes supported alternatives for GPE users depending on which parts of GPE you're using.

App Engine Standard

App Engine standard environment development is supported by Cloud Tools for Eclipse. To migrate your existing GPE project to Cloud Tools for Eclipse:

1. If you're using Eclipse 4.4 or earlier, upgrade to Eclipse 4.5 or later.

2. Install Cloud Tools for Eclipse. This will uninstall GPE.

3. Select the Eclipse project you want to convert in the Package Explorer or Project Explorer.

4. Open the context menu and select Configure > Convert to App Engine Project.

Local run, local debugging, and deployment will now be available for the project.

Apps Script

Apps Script projects can be edited directly in your web browser using the Google Drive script editor.

All of your Apps Script projects are already available in Google Drive. No additional export or conversion is required.

GWT

Install the GWT Eclipse plugin.

You will probably see build errors in your GWT projects. To resolve them:

1. Select the Project in the Project Explorer.

2. Open the context menu.

3. Select Configure > Enable GWT SDM builder

Android

Android Studio is the official IDE for Android development.

Android Studio can convert your existing Eclipse Android projects into Android Studio projects with Gradle-based build files. For detailed instructions, read Migrating from Eclipse.

Cloud Endpoints

GPE supported Cloud Endpoints v1. You may wish to upgrade to Cloud Endpoints v2.
