make sure you have correct jar files included in your eclipse application launcher. Try this: Go to "Run Configuration" by right clicking on your project -> click "Run As" -> Select "Run Configuration" Select "TestCliDriver" JUNIT luncher->click on ClassPath tab-> make sure all your jar files are there.

I did 'ant clean package eclipse-files' and imported the project into eclipse, as specified in https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/gettingstarted-eclipsesetup.html. When I run HIveCLI or TestCliDriver it says Errors exist in required projects: hive Proceed with launch? When I proceed, it fails with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/hive/cli/CliDriver Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) Any help to come out this problem is much appreciated.
