this post is the worst.. A) never really had contacts "disappear", although i definitely encounter conflicts with weird results (kind of expected).
B) use a shared host (justhost.com. lol) and php over google's infrastructure? fat chance this guy is competent enough to know what the fuck he's in for down the road..
Not much of a build script, really. I used to (and, still do, for a limited purposes) use ant script to copy GAE jar files to war dir. (Now, Eclipse plugin seems to do that for me.) In any case, the relevant part is as follows (which used to have hard-coded SDK dir). I changed it last night to use "environment" var, GAESDK_HOME.
