That's right as I did not see the attachments mentioned earlier. However, removing src/test/org/apache/hadoop/record directory from the build path fixes the compilation and build issue.
Also I was able to generate the packaged .tar file adding the top level Hadoop build.xml in the eclipse Ant view and executing the "tar" target.

No, but they are removed by lots of mail servers, so they frequently don't seem to survive when folks post them to this list and hence cannot be recommended. Doug
