title: Compiling Apache Hadoop Source in Eclipse
body: <p>After about 4 tries I've managed to use git to checkout apache's Hadoop source code, issue a </p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn eclipse:eclipse
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>command and then import all of the projects into eclipse. So far this has been the most successful I have been. I am ALMOST there. I attempted to build and clean all projects and everything was going well. Now I only have 3 errors to get rid of. I would be EXTREMELY appreciate if anyone could help me with this. I have been trying to get this to work for about 2 days or so. Anyway, in Eclipse I have about 20 Hadoop projects. There are only two that have errors. One is called "hadoop-streaming" and the other is "hadoop-tools-dist."</p>
  
  <p>The error says the following:</p>
  
  <p>Project 'hadoop-streaming' is missing required source folder: 'C:/Users/User/hadoop/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-resourcemanager/conf'</p>
  
  <p>The other errors are mainly related to this one. That's what Eclipse says anyway. I tried to copy the folder to where it was needed but that didn't clear up the error. Does anyone know how to fix this? If you need anything from me just ask.</p>
