There are other ways to install the Cloud SDK, the preferred one is in conjunction with installing Cloud Tools for Eclipse. While installing the tools, it searches your computer for the Cloud SDK. If it can't find the SDK, then it automatically downloads the latest version of the SDK. It also periodically checks for and installs updates as needed. Regarding the reference to the SDK from Eclipse, you can either allow Cloud Tools for Eclipse to automatically manage the SDK for you, or you can manage the SDK yourself.
There is no duplicate work, as the Cloud Tools install searches your computer for the Cloud SDK to reuse it. In short, you can download and install the SDK separately, your work won't get wasted. You may check the "Managing the SDK for Your Project" online document <https://cloud.google.com/eclipse/docs/manage-sdk>for reference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
