Hi all,

I'm reading Mahout in Action and new to Mahout. Before I can run the code
in 2.2.2 Creating a recommender, I think I need to import Mahout into
Eclipse first.

However,  encountered a problem when trying to import *Mahout*'s source
code to eclipse. My steps are as follows.

1 Start Eclipse, click Help->Install new software: enter "m2e -
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases";
2 downloaded the Mahout source zip file, unzip it, and put it under the
workspace of Eclipse.
3 Start Eclipse, click File->Import->Maven->Existing Maven Projects. Then
chose the Mahout source file as the Root Directory.

However, when I first tried it, it popped out some errors as in this post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11282737/errors-when-importing-mahouts-maven-resource-to-eclipse
.

But when I tried it today, the "Next" button becomes gray, so I cannot
proceed.

Does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Info: I'm using Eclipse Helios, and mahout distribution 0.7. Is it because
the Helios does not support Mahout?
But it shouldn't, I think, since this person did it successfully.

Or, instead of installing Maven in Eclipse, I should download it
separately?

Thanks very much!
