 Hi Rafael,

 We do have a new project developing the plugin separately. Please
 check out and join the development efforts at
 http://hdt.incubator.apache.org (Hadoop Development Tools).

  apologies if it is not.
 
  I have seen many accounts of Hadoop developers who had a hard time
 figuring

 question
  is: are there any reasons, technical or otherwise, to distribute the
  plug-in as source code with Hadoop releases instead of as an Eclipse
  project? Having the plug-in as a separate Eclipse project would allow
  installling it via update site, which is the most common way of
 installing
  plug-ins. I also think it makes sense from a development standpoint,
 since
  contributors to the eclipse plugin are rarely the same ones that
 contribute
  to MapReduce.
