Hi,
I am new to mahout, and am working my way through the Mahout In Action book. 
Now, I'm trying to execute a RecommenderJob, and see the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/commons/cli2/Option
       at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
       at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264)
       at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:149)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.cli2.Option
       at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
       at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
       at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)
       at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321)
       at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
       ... 3 more

The command I'm executing is as follows:

hadoop jar target/mahout-core-0.6-SNAPSHOT.jar
org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob
-Dmapred.input.dir=input/input.txt
-Dmapred.output.dir=output --usersFile input/users.txt --booleanData

This differs slightly from the command prescribed in the Mahout In Action book:



bin/hadoop jar target/mahout-core-0.4-SNAPSHOT.job

org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob

-Dmapred.input.dir=input/input.txt
-Dmapred.output.dir=output --usersFile input/users.txt --booleanData

Obvious differences are (i) I'm on Mahout 0.6, and (ii) I don't have a .job 
file to reference, only a .jar (target/mahout-core-0.6-SNAPSHOT.jar). I don't 
know if I should be referencing the .jar file in this way.


Now, I have built the jar myself, by executing:

mvn -DskipTests clean package
from the core directory of Mahout.

This appears to have worked fine, and I see the following in the core/target 
directory

drwxrwxr-x 6 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 ./
drwxrwxr-x 8 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 ../
drwxrwxr-x 3 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 classes/
drwxrwxr-x 4 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 generated-sources/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 martin martin 1641278 2012-01-18 12:24 mahout-core-0.6-SNAPSHOT.jar
drwxrwxr-x 2 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 maven-archiver/
drwxrwxr-x 3 martin martin    4096 2012-01-18 12:24 test-classes/

Notice that there is no .job file, only a .jar.

I'm not sure if the problem I'm seeing is due to the lack of a .job file, or if 
it's something else that I've got wrong.

Please can you help explain why I can't run the RecommenderJob?

Many thanks,

Martin
