I found the solution. Please let me know if you have a better idea.
I added the following addResource lines.
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.addResource(new Path("location_of_hadoop-default.xml"));
conf.addResource(new Path("location_of_hadoop-site.xml"));
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
(Would be good to update the wiki page).
