I have been working on Hadoop and HBase lately, and one of the first things I hit was the fact that they aren’t in a Maven repo.  I found this blog post which got me started, but I thought I would push out an update for the new HBase 0.19.1 release.

Grab the HBase POM here (not official) and then set HBASE_HOME and run the deploy_deps.sh script.

Hope it helps :)
