I just finished installing Hadoop 0.20.2 under Cygwin on Windows 7 with Eclipse Helios (3.6). Hadoop is now fully running, and I'm trying to run a test application in a newly created MapReduce test project in Eclipse. I am using the Hadoop 0.20.2 plugin from downloading Hadoop.
The Map / Reduce Location perspective works correctly, as does the DFS Locations tree in the package explorer. However, when I right-click the driver, select Run As> Run On Hadoop, nothing happens and the console does not display errors (silent fail :(). I believe that a dialog box asking you to configure before it works, but this does not happen.
There seem to be a few others with the same problem, but I have yet to find an answer that works. I tried plugin 0.20.1 (general failure). The following error report seems to describe my problem, although I'm a little new to all of this, so you can do it with your hands / voice to help: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1280
