I would like to initialize my local data store with some data using a regular Java program (I do not want to start the Development Server and call a service/servlet), and I'm getting the following exception

EXCEPTION : 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: No API environment is registered for this thread.

private static void testServerCallBack() {
    Contacts contacts = new Contacts("this is", "awesome");
    greetingServiceImpl.saveContact(contacts);//line:14
}

}

Google provides a helper class that does exactly what you want - runs just enough code to work with the database, without launching the whole dev server. See the setUp and tearDown methods at http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting.html
