How to add maven dependencies for mahout and hadoop?

Question

I am doing a project that has dependencies on some classes from the mahout and hadoop core jars. I was using javac with the classpath option to include them before, but someone suggested to me that I should use maven to build my project instead. However, I am not sure how to add the dependencies to these jar files which are located in my /usr/local directory.

Answer 1

   <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
            <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
            <version>0.20.205.0</version> <!-- or whatever version -->
        </dependency>
   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.mahout</groupId>
        <artifactId>mahout-core</artifactId>
        <version>0.5</version>
    </dependency>
