Resolving Google AppEngine JAR missing error

While building Teammates project, I was encountering this problem in the `Markers` view beside the Console view.

Description Resource Path Location Type The App Engine SDK JAR appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.9.55.jar is missing in the WEB-INF/lib directory lib

After some rendezvous with Google, it called for a rather trivial fix.

Right click -> Quick Fix -> Synchronize SDK

And Voila! Thanks to the Stack Overflow post on it.

Creating a screencast GIF

The other day I was running into some issue while working on a fix of Teammates Open source project. Turns out it was a non-issue to begin with.

The one useful thing that came out of it was creating a GIF screencast that captures your screen activity. Byzanz is a nifty command line tool that does it. Thanks to Ask Ubuntu here is how to run it after installing it:
