Eclipse is an open source development community.  If you have not already done so, download and install Eclipse on your development machine. For more information, see [Eclipse|http://www.eclipse.org] and [Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

|http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/java.php].

h2. Checkout Pig
Create a directory on your development machine (for example "mypig") and checkout the Pig source from SVN: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pig/trunk

h2. Generate eclipse files:

ant clean eclipse-files

h2. Import Pig project into Eclipse

 # Open Eclipse

 # Select File->Import

 # Select General->Existing Projects Into Workspace

 # Select root directory (point to <top-level-directory>)

 # Click

 Finish

h2. Run Pig Main
 # Create a new Run Configurations
 # Pick "org.apache.pig.Main" as the Main class

h2. Run Pig Unit test
 # Create a new Junit Run Configurations, pick any Pig test suite as "Test class"
 # In "VM arguments", put "-Xmx1024m -Dhadoop.log.dir=build/test/logs"
 # Change "Working directory" into your PIG_HOME
 # In Classpath, add one user entries "${USER}/pigtest/conf"

h2. Troubleshooting
 * Build problems: Check if eclipse is using JDK version 1.6, pig needs it (Under Preferences/Java/Compiler).
