As CloudMe will not just focus on Java development, but will also utilize GAE (Google App Engine), I had to modify my development environment to support Python. I decided to use Eclipse as I’m already familiar with it from the Java development (I tried NetBeans, which is also really good, and needs less memory, but being more familiar with Eclipse made the difference). For this project I did a clean install:

• Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
• PyDev: http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/
• Subclipse: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x
• SVNKit: http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.2.x/
• Maven: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/

For GAE, some documentation is required (considering that I’m new to Python):

• Google App Engine: http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html
• Python: http://www.python.org/doc/
