Bummer to hear on the Google plugin. Thats to bad. I'm using Google's plugin b/c it has the end point features built in. I haven't tried running the server for automated tests yet. So it has more features than the kindle it. I have repository permissions to accept patches on it which is nice, but I don't have time to help much with that, but I can help things along :). I might be able to find someone on the Google's cloud team and ask them in Seattle Kirkland offices. I'll see Brian Dorsey in Jan. at the GDG meetup and maybe a couple other of the cloud team, maybe I can ask more about it then. I start asking around what the goal is on that and can we get better contribution going. By the way I see the GPE plugin is getting moved to github, so maybe this is a sign that plugin could move too.
