Description

BUILDING.txt explains the way to import projects to eclipse. However, when you follow the instruction, you can't import the entire source tree (e.g., hadoop-project directory). In addition to this, maven-eclipse-plugin has already retired. There is a simpler way to import it without maven-eclipse-plugin.

Importing projects to eclipse

When you import the project to eclipse, install hadoop-maven-plugins at first.

  $ cd hadoop-maven-plugins
  $ mvn install

Then, generate eclipse project files.

  $ mvn eclipse:eclipse -DskipTests

At last, import to eclipse by specifying the root directory of the project via
[File] > [Import] > [Existing Projects into Workspace].
