I have been able to configure and start hdfs(apache hadoop) in linux environment. I tried various ways to setup eclipse environment for hadoop with HADOOP ECLIPSE PLUGIN. Only plugin jar that is recongnized by eclipse is at some 1280 jira issue, other methods wont even recognize, like building eclipse plugin from hadoop src and as such. and the patched jar from 1280 link says "cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:3515 EOFException". And many blogs/forums say different methods to patch hadoop, build with various tools etc.. etc.. Isn't there a stable hadoop project to configure with eclipse so developer's can quickly get the environment and work on various examples? I don't want to work with Cloudera VM because it makes me not to understand hadoop in a normal way, and installation is a process with big files. Please someone help me to get hadoop environment in a stable way.
Thanks Chakri
