Well, I've failed and given up on building Hadoop in Eclipse. Too many things go wrong with Maven plugins and m2e. But Hadoop builds just fine using the command-line, and it runs using Sandy's development-node instructions. My strategy now is
1) Tell Eclipse about all of the Hadoop JARs 2) Make a project with the sample ApplicationMaster distributed shell and build it. Is there a shortcut for adding all relevant JARs to Eclipse? They ended up in a lot of separate folders after the build and I can't tell if there is one "target" containing all of the ones I need. Thanks John
