Answer 1

Could it be that you haven't defined the application name in your appengine-xml correctly?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appengine-web-app xmlns="http://appengine.google.com/ns/1.0"&gt;
    <application>abcdef</application>
    <version>1</version>
    ....
</appengine-web-app>

where you are trying to publish to http://abcdef.appspot.com

Answer 2

Some people seem to be experiencing that. There is a bug report that you might want to vote up.

Answer 4

Hi, do you get permission for java on google app engine? You get this error if java (i.e. the 'runtime') is not enabled. Currently the preview is limited to 10,000 users and others can apply but have to wait... check my blog post Writing Java Hello World for Google app engine for details.
