>    Affects Versions: 0.23.0

>            Priority: Minor

> I've created an account on the wiki but can't edit pages.
> The wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/EclipseEnvironment has some out of date information, for example 
> mvn test -DskipTests
> mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true
> cd ../; cd mapreduce; ant compile eclipse
> should be
> mvn install -DskipTests
> mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true
> 'install' is needed instead of test in order to get the build artifacts in the local M2 repo for reference in the eclipse build path.  Also there isn't a 'mapreduce' directory anymore and the mvn eclipse:eclipse command craetes the necessary .project files under the 0.23 'hadoop-mapreduce-project' directory.
> I'd also like to add a blurb about using eclipse with m2e/m2eclipse.  For a maven based project many devs would just import the root pom.xmls.  With the new release of the m2e plug-in, this doesn't work anymore as pretty much all targets are not supported by the new 'connector framework' - yes, it is a giant mess.  This means falling back to m2eclipse or just doing the eclipse generation as mention.
> Adding a pointer to http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute such that the requirements to install java, maven, and protoc compilers would be helpful.  The information on getting started from scratch seems a bit scattered and I'd like to help clean that up.
> Please let me know how I can help to contribute in this area.
