Hi Curtis, I handle this by running "mvn install -DskipTests" once from the root of the whole hadoop project to install the sub-modules in my local Maven repository. Then, you can change your working directory to any sub-module (like distributed shell) and run a successful Maven build for just that sub-module. Full details are in the BUILDING.txt file in the root of the hadoop project. Look for the section titled "Building components separately". I hope this helps.
