JAR and GAE Marketplace for Google Apps
When you use the Google-Eclipse plugin to create a new web application project and you select the Add support for inclusion in the Google Apps Marketplace option, the plugin automatically adds the apps-marketplace.jar
file in your classpath.
Does this mean - at any given time, for whatever reason, should ever be associated with your WAR? I ask because it bundles a version of SLF4J which causes JAR hell problems with other dependencies using a different version of SLF4J.
I included it in my WAR because I thought it was necessary, but if its something that is just used by a plugin, or possibly available as some kind of service for GAE apps when they are running in production, this is needed and wanted would remove it as a dependency. Thanks in advance.

This bank is not needed. You can remove it from your build path and your WAR directory. We need to fix the plugin to get rid of this jar.
I have a feeling it was first added to make it easier to access some of the Google APIs from your Marketplace app. It included a bunch of classes for handling OAuth. However, I think all the classes here are mostly deprecated and there are better ways to make these Api calls now.
