Hi, I have successfully used the bulk loader from SDK v1.3.4 against the production server. Nevertheless, I am facing troubles importing using it against the local dev server. I would like to do local development using data I have downloaded from production. Did anyone manage to do that using the bulk loader tool from the last SDK release?
I have given some more details on the problem I encountered here: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/984c1b4747c1a44e# Cheers, J.
