I have a Google AppEngine (Java) project in Eclipse. I want to debug my local code in Eclipse but use the deployed database on AppEngine. Until now I use Remote API with username/password (old way)
This method will be deprecated and I want to use OAuth but when I try to use it, it throws an exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: OAuth-based authorization not supported for clients running on App Engine
at com.google.appengine.tools.remoteapi.RemoteApiOptions.getOrCreateHttpTransportForOAuth(RemoteApiOptions.java:359)
at com.google.appengine.tools.remoteapi.RemoteApiOptions.useApplicationDefaultCredential(RemoteApiOptions.java:162)
Everthing is fine when I run a simple Java client app that uses remote api in Eclipse. But if the client is AppEngine development environment in Eclipse, it doesn't work.
How can I debug the server code in eclipse using appengine database?

This is expected, as value returned by ApiProxy.getCurrentEnvironment() will not be null, but com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalHttpRequestEnvironment object. For development server you'll have to use old style (username/password) for now.
According to the documentation, you need to add appengine-remote-api.jar from ${SDK_ROOT}/lib/appengine-remote-api.jar to your WEB-INF/lib directory (or add it to your Maven dependencies) before this will work.
Update: Indeed, it looks like OAuth from App Engine with Remote API has not yet been implemented. I would assume this will change before ClientLogin is fully deprecated, but for now I would recommend opening a feature request on the public issue tracker.
One possible workaround would be to create a regular console application that connects to the Remote API (as per the example in the docs) and can act as a proxy for your App Engine application running on the development server.
In addition to what my colleagues Adam and Nikita previously said, I can officially confirm that the Google Cloud Engineering Team is determined to provide a solution to all reasonable use-cases which are affected by the ClientLogin shutdown before its deadline.
Presumably, the Remote API solution will be available in the upcoming releases 1.9.31/32, although this is just an assumption and there's no ETA for it yet.
As an alternative, you can access Cloud Datastore using Protobufs remotely using service account credentials, which might fit your needs for the moment.
UPDATE 2016/01/21:
The team has extended the ClientLogin shutdown deadline to April 12, 2016.
UPDATE 2016/04/12:
As mentioned before, the fix was properly applied and available in the latest versions of the SDK and gcloud. Remote API can now be used again with OAuth for app-to-app (or devserver-to-app) connection.
