  1. Obtain the Hive sample project. Obtaining a Sample Project provides the address.
  2. In the root directory of the Hive sample project, run the mvn install command to perform compilation.
  3. In the root directory of the Hive sample project, run the mvn eclipse:eclipse command to create an Eclipse project.
  4. In the application development environment, import the sample project to the Eclipse development environment.

    1. Choose File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace > Next > Browse.

      The Browse Folder dialog box is displayed.

    2. After downloading the project, select the hive-examples folder, as shown in Figure 1. On Windows, the folder path cannot contain any space.
