Never mind, answered my own question... I just make a new maven project and add a dependency to the pom.xml, I checked in ~/.m2 that the hadoop-client module is there. john

Why do you require the whole of Hadoop's projects itself on Eclipse when you can simply have the dependencies via a maven pom.xml? The following is what you can use in a simple maven app, to include all necessary dependencies automatically, for example: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId> <artifactId>hadoop-client</artifactId> <version>2.0.4-alpha</version> </dependency> </dependencies> Then importing this project into Eclipse (using m2e plugin) would be equivalent to "Adding all relevant Hadoop JARs to Eclipse".
