3. mvn: build the code to get it ready for importing into Eclipse.
cd haoop-trunk
$ mvn install -DskipTests
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true
Note: This may take a while the first time,
as all libraries are fetched from the internet, and the whole build is performed
error:
Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:exec (compile-proto)
on project hadoop-common: Command execution failed. Cannot run program "protoc"
issue: install google's protocol buffer
4. In Eclipse
After the above, do the following to finally have projects in Eclipse ready and waiting for you to go on that scratch-itching development spree:
For Common
File -> Import...
Choose "Existing Projects into Workspace"
Select the hadoop-common-project directory as the root directory
Select the hadoop-annotations, hadoop-auth, hadoop-auth-examples and hadoop-common projects
Click "Finish"
File -> Import...
Choose "Existing Projects into Workspace"
Select the hadoop-assemblies directory as the root directory
Select the hadoop-assemblies project
Click "Finish"
To get the projects to build cleanly:
* Add target/generated-test-sources/java as a source directory for hadoop-common
* You may have to add then remove the JRE System Library to avoid errors due to access restrictions
For HDFS
File -> Import...
Choose "Existing Projects into Workspace"
Select the hadoop-hdfs-project directory as the root directory
Select the hadoop-hdfs project
Click "Finish"
For MapReduce
File -> Import...
Choose "Existing Projects into Workspace"
Select the hadoop-mapreduce-project directory as the root directory
Select the hadoop-mapreduce-project project
Click "Finish"
Note: in the case of MapReduce the testjar package is broken. This is expected since it is a part of a testcase that checks for incorrect packaging. This is not to be worried about.
To run tests from Eclipse you need to additionally do the following:
Under project Properties, select Java Build Path, and the Libraries tab
Click "Add External Class Folder" and select the build directory of the current project
