Why 2 app-engine gradle plugin? #262

Open renaudcerrato opened 7 years ago

renaudcerrato commented 7 years ago

Just stumbled upon:

https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/08/test-and-deploy-to-Google-App-Engine-with-the-new-Maven-and-Gradle-plugins.html

and this:

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/app-gradle-plugin

What's the point to maintain 2 plugins? Why?

loosebazooka commented 7 years ago

The new plugin uses gcloud as the underlying tool to deploy. The gradle-appengine-plugin uses appcfg from the appengine java sdk, which is older and doesn't support some of the new features.

I would recommend trying the new plugin as we will eventually want everyone using it.

@loosebazooka can we update the README to this plugin to direct non Android Studio users to use the app-gradle-plugin?
