Hi, I checked out the source code from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/
I tried to compile the code with mvn. I am compiling this on a mac os X , mavericks. Any help is appreciated. It failed at the following stage [INFO] Apache Hadoop Auth Examples ....................... SUCCESS [5.017s] [INFO] Apache Hadoop Common ..............................
