Google App Engineのチュートリアルをほぼそのままコピーして下記のようなコードを書きました。

package com.example.appengine.helloworld;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import java.util.Date;
import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.*;

// [START example]
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {

  @Override
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {
    PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
    DatastoreService datastore = DatastoreServiceFactory.getDatastoreService();
    Entity employee = new Entity("Employee");
    employee.setProperty("firstName", "Antonio");
    employee.setProperty("lastName", "Salieri");
    Date hireDate = new Date();
    employee.setProperty("hireDate", hireDate);
    employee.setProperty("attendedHrTraining", true);
    datastore.put(employee);

    out.println("Hello, world");
  }
}
// [END example]

これを mvn appengine:update でデプロイしてGoogleのサーバーで見ると動いているのですが、
mvn appengine:devserver でローカルでテストしようとすると下記のエラーがでます。

HTTP ERROR 500

どうすればローカルでも動作するようにできるでしょうか?
