Hi,

I am setting up a dev environment on Eclipse Neon.3 for App Engine 
development.

According to the Google Cloud Platform documentation, developers will need 
to download and install Google Cloud SDK through Eclipse Marketplace. 
Developers will also need to download and install the App Engine SDK 
separately.

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/download

It also states the gcloud app Java extensions have to be download and 
installed along with Google Cloud SDK.

I have done the installation of Google Cloud SDK and its gcloud app Java 
extensions.


My question is what is the point to download and install the App Engine SDK 
separately if the Google Cloud SDK has already contained the App Engine 
SDK? If so, does it sound like duplicated work?

I have created a testing Google App Engine Standard Java project using the 
Google Cloud wrizard on Eclipse. It seems the App Engine SDK comes from my 
local Maven repository.

If the App Engine SDK has to be downloaded and installed separately, how 
can it be referenced for use in the Eclipse project instead of the one in 
the Maven repository?

Google Cloud SDK, the gcloud app Java extensions, and App Engine SDK, these 
are all very confusing to me.

Thanks!
