Hi Mohit
I'm really not sure how many of the map reduce developers use the map
reduce eclipse plugin. AFAIK majority don't. As Jignesh mentioned you can get
it from the hadoop distribution folder as soon as you unzip the same.
My suggested approach would be,If you are on Windows OS, you can test run your
map reduce code in two ways.
-set up cygwin in Windows, atop you can set up hadoop and related tools. It is
a little messy.
-Use a linux VM image. I'd recommend Cloudera test VM,as it comes pre
configured with the whole hadoop technology stack. It really segregates the
developer from the hassles of installing the hadoop tools and making them up
and running.
In Linux or Mac you can just add the hadoop jars to your class path and run the
driver class as just how you run a java class within eclipse.(Here hadoop would
be on standalone mode).
Hope it helps!...

When you download the hadoop in its dist(i don't remember exact name) there is
a related plugin. Go and get it from there.
