I have cygwin. But how can the unix shell commands run in windows through eclipse? I tried running eclipse through cygwin and then building. In this case, it does not recognize the path:
BUILD FAILED C:\Users\Hari\workspace\hadoop-common-trunk\build.xml:332: Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK. It is currently set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6" So will I have to change the paths to cygwin paths? hari On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 9:58 PM, Harsh J <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 9:48 PM, Hari Sreekumar > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is it possible to set up hadoop in eclipse in windows only for browsing > code > > without using cygwin?
