1>  首先安装Cygwin，并把安装的bin目录添加到path环境变量，例如E:\Cygwin\bin

2> eclipse已经安装好了m2eclipse插件

3> check out source code: 从http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hbase/tags/0.94.0/, 所有的文件放在E:\hbase里

4> 打开eclipse, 选择File-> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects，把上面的maven工程导入

5> 确保本机.m2下的Settings.xml已经配置好了Maven中央仓库镜像

6> 在eclipse的hbase工程中的pom.xml右键选择Run as -> Run Configurations...在Goals里面填上clean install -DskipTests 

7> 在pom.xml上右键Run as -> Maven Build

常见问题及解决方案：

1> 如果编译过程中报错：警告：sun.misc.Unsafe 是 Sun 的专用 API，可能会在未来版本中删除， 那么只需要在pom.xml中指定使用高版本的maven-compiler-plugin 插件即可，

在pom.xml的maven-compiler-plugin配置里面添加一行：<version>2.3.2</version>

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
      <source>${compileSource}</source>
      <target>${compileSource}</target>
      <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
      <showDeprecation>false</showDeprecation>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

附：我的.m2/settings文件如下：
