title: appengine endpoint Failed to retrieve API configs with status: 500
body: <p>I run appengine local dev server in eclipse with params 0.0.0.0</p>
  
  <p>When I try to access any of the methods I get the following error. I get the same error if I try to access api explorer</p>
  
  <pre><code> http://localhost:8888/_ah/api/explorer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notes: I just updated my app engine server to java 7.</p>
