Updating Google App Engine SDK for NetBeans plug-in

When a new version of the Google App Engine SDK is released and you still use an older one when deploying your app to GAE you are notified during the deployment process with this message:

-----------
Please visit http://code.google.com/appengine for the latest SDK.
********************************************************

So download and unzip the new SDK. Goto Tools/Servers and remove Google App Engine. Then add it again as a new server and select the directory of the new SDK when asked for it. For more information see my previous posting Using NetBeans to develop for Google App Engine.
If you also downloaded and unzipped the GAE documentation you can add the Javadocs by selecting Google App Engine in the Servers window and click Add ZIP/Folder in the Javadoc tab.
Please make sure that you select the right sub directory, e.g. if you unzipped google-appengine-docs-20110211.zip the path is google-appengine-docs-20110211/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/
