I tried to update the GAE version to the latest 1.9.49 released on Jan 30, 2017, and encountered the following issue:

It appears that after update com.google.api.server.spi.tools.EndpointsTool fails to handle the format option: -f, rest
So currently the update is reverted to version 1.9.48 as a workaround.
Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
