using hadoop 2.2.0 jar files in netbeans

Question

I was previously using hadoop 1.2.1 in one of my netbeans project. I did this by including the various jar files in the 1.2.1 distribution I downloaded from hadoop's website.

I was wondering, is a similar approach with hadoop 2.2.0 possible? Namely, can I just include a bunch of jar files in my netbeans project and plug into hadoop that way?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can - There are more jars in the 2.x distributions of hadoop but the same principle should work.

On a side note, you may also want to look into using Maven for dependency management that will manage the list of included jars in Netbeans for you.
