Would like to update development getting started pages on hadoop wiki but don't have permission -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7944 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7944 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Task Components: documentation Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Environment: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Reporter: Mark Pollack Priority: Minor I've created an account on the wiki but can't edit pages. The wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/EclipseEnvironment has some out of date information, for example mvn test -DskipTests mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true cd ../; cd mapreduce; ant compile eclipse should be mvn install -DskipTests mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true 'install' is needed instead of test in order to get the build artifacts in the local M2 repo for reference in the eclipse build path. Also there isn't a 'mapreduce' directory anymore and the mvn eclipse:eclipse command craetes the necessary .project files under the 0.23 'hadoop-mapreduce-project' directory. I'd also like to add a blurb about using eclipse with m2e/m2eclipse. For a maven based project many devs would just import the root pom.xmls. With the new release of the m2e plug-in, this doesn't work anymore as pretty much all targets are not supported by the new 'connector framework' - yes, it is a giant mess. This means falling back to m2eclipse or just doing the eclipse generation as mention. Adding a pointer to http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute such that the requirements to install java, maven, and protoc compilers would be helpful. The information on getting started from scratch seems a bit scattered and I'd like to help clean that up. Please let me know how I can help to contribute in this area. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
