Using Eclipse for Web Applications

Question

I'm running Eclipse and trying to follow the steps written here for using the Google App Engine.

I've pasted what's in the console when I debug as web application. On google's site I've been following the steps. But then when I go to localhost:8888/xxxxxx I get an error.

Please advise. I'm running Java 1.5 and on Mac OSX Tiger and Eclipse is Ganymede.

Thanks.

Besides the warning about using java 1.6 instead of 1.5 is there an actual error message with a stacktrace that is produced? I don't see an actaul errors in your post. — hooknc
Agreed with other comments here; why aren't you using a Java 6 JDK? — Matt Ball
...Tiger? Wow, that is old (6 years old, at the end of the month). As of 2009-08-28, Apple dropped official support for Tiger. It is time to upgrade, amigo. — Matt Ball
