Description

I've created Eclipse project files for Hadoop (to be attached). I've found them very useful for exploring Hadoop and running the unit tests.

The project files can be included in the source repository to make it easy to import Hadoop into Eclipse.

A few features:

• Eclipse automatically calls the Ant build to generate some of the necessary source files
• Single unit tests can be run from inside Eclipse
• Basic Java code style formatter settings for the Hadoop conventions (still needs some work)

The following VM arguments must be specified in the run configuration to get unit tests to run:

-Xms256m -Xmx256m -Dtest.build.data=${project_loc}\build\test\data

Some of the unit tests don't run yet, possibly due to some missing VM flags, the fact that I'm running Windows, or some other reason(s).

TODO:

• Specify native library location(s) once I investigate building of Hadoop's native library
• Get all the unit tests to run
