I need a brave eclipse user to try out the following, and then I have
some questions for others.

1) Remove all .project and .classpath files from your tree.
2) cd to 'eclipse'.
3) Pick a new pathname for an eclipse workspace (call it WORKSPACE) in
the following.
4) mvn -Psetup-eclipse-workspace -Declipse.workspace.dir=WORKSPACE

This much will create WORKSPACE, copy some files into it, and set some
global options.

5) cd .. (to the mahout top)
6) mvn -Psetup.eclipse -Declipse.workspace=WORKSPACE

Now there will be .project and .classpath files.

7) start eclipse, select WORKSPACE
8) import projects from the mahout toplevel

If all goes well, you will be presented with a lot of PMD complaints.
I turned on PMD as part of the show, and it seems that we have a
supply of PMD non-compliance. What do people think about the PMD rules
we have checked in? Do we want to conform to them?
