I have not had the Fatal Exception issue, but I have had other
problems with it, when developing on Ubuntu linux. When I try the
example on my Mac, it works. I have been able to narrow it down to
the fact that the example attempts to connect to
127.0.1.1:8888 for
debugging with a local app engine instance. Upon examining the
Util.java file, around the 190 line area, it says to create an assets/
debugging_prefs.properties file with the url of the debug app engine
server in it. I tried doing that, but everytime I ran the code, it
would revert the url back to
127.0.1.1:8888. The only way that I have
been able to get the code to run on linux is to hardcode the url of
the dev app engine into the Uitl.java file. This seems to be a bug in
the App engine connected project. I have scoured the project settings
as well as the other eclipse settings and can not come up with a
reason for why it keeps reverting that file.
