Yeoman use google application server

I am configuring Yeoman 1.0 beta to handle my js / css tasks. Everything works fine, if I run it grunt server, it starts a static server and connects a browser session to port 9000 (download function). js / css concat, minification also work.

Now there is a way that I can connect to the development server of the Google engine (instead of starting a static server). The server runs on port 8080 on the local host, and I want to grunt in order to reload the web page when the css / js files are viewed. These files will be served by the GAE server.

I see a section rolling your ownin the grunt-contrib-connect documentation , but not sure if this means an external server. As far as I can see, this is the relevant configuration from Gruntfile.js

connect: {
      livereload: {
        options: {
          port: 8080, //*** was 9001 originally ** 
          middleware: function (connect) {
            return [
              lrSnippet,
              mountFolder(connect, '.tmp'),
              mountFolder(connect, yeomanConfig.app)
            ];
          }
        }
      },

When I change the port number to 8080 and try to start, it is obvious that it gives an error.

Fatal error: port 8080 is already in use by another process.

therefore, I do not want to start a new server, but I connect through the already started GAE server.

Thank.
