Google application engine is a cloud computing platform where we can develop and host web applications.
If you are a platform specific developer and your desired platform is java obviously you will use eclipse as your IDE . Eclipse is just awesome. You can have different development environment and can add additional plugins. You can add Google app engine plugin to your eclipse so that you can host your projects on Google data center and you can use lot of Google services. I recommend you to use eclipse 4.3 kepler because there is chance for errors if you use lower versions (well I have got one).In this tutorial I am gonna explain you how to install and configure Google app engine.

Now you can see the list of plugins, we need to select what we need to download.
Check the "Google plugin for eclipse" as well as "SDKs "as shown in the above figure and click next.
A screen will appear showing the installation details. Click on finish to start the download.
Just click ok in case you get any error or warning messages.
