I have just installed the Google App Engine Plugin for eclipse and want to create a new project. But i only get:
Why cannot I create a new project?
greetings and thx in advance
The actual GWT compiler and libraries are present in the SDK which needs to be downloaded separately. Once you download and extract the SDK, You have to configure its location in Eclipse's Preferences. Go to Window > Preferences > Google > Web Toolkit and add the SDK there.
The GWT SDK provides a core set of Java APIs and libraries that allow you to productively build user interfaces and logic for the browser client. You then compile that source code to JavaScript. All that runs in the end is plain ol' JavaScript in the browser.
GWT Eclipse Plugin This plugin helps launch GWT development mode for debugging in browsers and/or mobile devices. It includes Maven integration for two of the GWT Maven plugins. And it has WTP server runtime integrat... Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development, Web, Mobile and Device Development.
Plugin is not same as the SDK. Plugin just makes it easy to work with GWT projects.

I had the same problem.
If you do not want to use GWT just uncheck the "Use Google Web Toolkit" checkbox on that same dialog. You do not need this turned on in order to create a New Web Application Project.
I personally think it was confusing that the checkbox for GWT is turned on by default, even if you don't have one installed.
The SDK that you installed with your eclipse plugin should be sufficient.
