2. When using `gcloud-java` libraries elsewhere, there are two options:
4747
* [Generate a JSON service account key](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication?hl=en#service_accounts). After downloading that key, you must do one of the following:
4848
* Define the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to be the location of the key. For example, `export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/my/key.json`
49-
* Supply the downloaded JSON credentials file when building the options supplied to datastore/storage constructor. For example, `StorageOptions.builder().authCredentials(AuthCredentials.createForJson(new FileInputStream("/path/to/my/key.json")).build().service()` returns a `Storage` object that has the necessary permissions.
49+
* Supply the JSON credentials file when building the service options. For example, this Storage object has the necessary permissions to interact with your Google Cloud Storage data:
50+
```java
51+
Storage storage = StorageOptions.builder()
52+
.authCredentials(AuthCredentials.createForJson(new FileInputStream("/path/to/my/key.json"))
53+
.build()
54+
.service();
55+
```

* If running locally for development/testing, you can use use [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/?hl=en). To use the SDK authentication, [download the SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/?hl=en) if you haven't already. Then login using the SDK (`gcloud auth login` in command line), and set your current project using `gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID`.

`gcloud-java` looks for credentials in the following order, stopping once it finds credentials:
5359

54-
1. Credentials supplied to the `DatastoreOptions`/`ServiceOptions` builder

1. Credentials supplied when building the service options

2. App Engine credentials

3. Key file pointed to by the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable

4. Google SDK credentials

4. Google Cloud SDK credentials

5. Compute Engine credentials

Note that this sequence is different than the order in which `gcloud-java` determines the project ID. The project ID is determined in the following order:
67+
68+
1. Project ID supplied when building the service options
69+
2. Project ID specified by the environment variable `GCLOUD_PROJECT`

3. App Engine project ID

4. Google Cloud SDK project ID
