On the wiki, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Development+Environment#DevelopmentEnvironment-SettingupEclipse, the basic instructions say that I can use either the maven-eclipse plugin or the m2eclipse plugin. But, it only shows how to use the maven-eclipse plugin. Are the instructions the same for m2eclipse? The implication that I get from the page is no.

Thanks!

Well, to answer my own question...

I was mostly successful by simply creating a new (empty) eclipse workspace and make sure that the Preferences->Java->Installed JREs actually points at your JDK, and not the JRE. (otherwise nothing will compile)

Then create a new project with the wizard.
    File->New->Other...->Maven->Checkout Maven Projects from SCM

Click "Next..." and the Target Location selector appears. Choose "git" in the SCM type selector, then enter the URL for the git repository. (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flume.git)
Click "Finish" and eclipse (+ m2eclipse) handles checking out the Flume trunk and creating all of the projects.
A couple problems remain in the POM files, though.

In flume-ng-sdk/pom.xml and the flume-avro-source/pom.xml, Eclipse is showing errors in the definition of the avro-maven-plugin and the paranamer-maven-plugin. In each it says,

    Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.6.1:idl-protocol (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)

I can guess what the error means, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Hi,

I use the method mentioned on that page:

$ mkdir apache-flume
$ cd apache-flume
$ git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flume.git
$ cd flume
$ mvn install -DskipTests
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources -DdownloadJavadocs

Add $HOME/.m2/repository to the my classpath in preferences.
Import the projects.

Hi Brock,
I tried it that way first, but the difference between maven-eclipse and m2eclipse gave me problems. (I am using m2eclipse.) Following those instructions, I got the ' "Updating Maven Project". Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind=4' error that is explained in this stackoverflow page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10564684/how-to-fix-error-updating-maven-project-unsupported-iclasspathentry-kind-4

Hmmm... I just realized that this discussion probably belongs over of the developer's email list. What do you think?
