Hi Jesse, Thank you !
Initially I was using Maven2 and compiling the code. That was my mistake. Later I was using the mvn clean package -DskipTests command and that was my next mistake ! Finally I re-ran as per your suggestion. BUILD was successful. But I was not clear on importing the .project file as stated in this site http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#ides into eclipse. In the intial post of Michael Morello, http://michaelmorello.blogspot.com/2011/09/hbase-subversion-eclipse-windows.html there is a update as follows *Update : please note that since HBase-4336<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4336>/ HBase 0.96 the source tree is split in more than one Maven module this post is no more relevant, i have created a new post on this subject : http://michaelmorello.blogspot.fr/2012/06/hbase-096-eclipse-maven.html* As per his next post http://michaelmorello.blogspot.com/2012/06/hbase-096-eclipse-maven.html I was able to run the Hbase compilation successfully ! Now the instructions in http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#ides has put me in a state of confusion. Will the command line method still work ? I am newbie, so I trying to learn HBase thoroughly ! Maven2 usage was the pitfall ! Thanks for your inputs .It really helped me to understand my errors ! -- _________________________________________________________ Regards, Varun
