Getting started with Spark, Eclipse, maven and Scala

Good documentation at https://nosqlnocry.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/setup-eclipse-to-start-developing-in-spark-scala/. But in case you still need help:

1. Use Eclipse Juno release. L has some problems
2. Install scala plugin from http://scala-ide.org/download/current.html
3. Create maven build, sample pom.xml and you are good to go.
