Hi To run code from Mahout in Action, you don't need to import source code into Eclipse - either download code from book's site, or clone it from https://github.com/tdunning/MiA (the master branch contains code from book, while there are separate branches for use with Mahout 0.6 & 0.7). After getting source code, just import existing maven project, and everything should work.
