The plugin provided by Google Eclipse at https://developers.google.com/eclipse/ has everything that you need to develop GAE applications.

I am not sure what you are referring to as the classic package but if it is Eclipse Classic that you are talking about then it will suffice.

Few other points:

  • Make sure that you download the correct plugin version for the Eclipse version that you are using. Go to https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/download and use the version that matches your installed Eclipse version.
  • When you begin the process of installing the plugin, you will see a screenshot like https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-4.2 where you will be given the option of what components to install. You can see that one of them is required but the rest are optional. I suggest that you go with selecting atleast the SDKs component.

All the best.
