How to debug hadoop mapreduce jobs from eclipse?

I'm running hadoop in a single-machine, local-only setup, and I'm looking for a nice, painless way to debug mappers and reducers in eclipse. Eclipse has no problem running mapreduce tasks. However, when I go to debug, it gives me this error :

12/03/28 14:03:23 WARN mapred.JobClient: No job jar file set. User classes may not be found. See JobConf(Class) or JobConf#setJar(String).

Okay, so I do some research. Apparently, I should use eclipse's remote debugging facility, and add this to my hadoop-env.sh :

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5000

I do that and I can step through my code in eclipse. Only problem is that, because of the "suspend=y", I can't use the "hadoop" command from the command line to do things like look at the job queue; it hangs, I'm imagining because it's waiting for a debugger to attach. Also, I can't run "hbase shell" when I'm in this mode, probably for the same reason.

So basically, if I want to flip back and forth between "debug mode" and "normal mode", I need to update hadoop-env.sh and restart my machine. Major pain. So I have a few questions :

1. Is there an easier way to do debug mapreduce jobs in eclipse?

2. How come eclipse can run my mapreduce jobs just fine, but for debugging I need to use remote debugging?

3. Is there a way to tell hadoop to use remote debugging for mapreduce jobs, but to operate in normal mode for all other tasks? (such as "hadoop queue" or "hbase shell").

4. Is there an easier way to switch hadoop-env.sh configurations without rebooting my machine? hadoop-env.sh is not executable by default.

5. This is a more general question : what exactly is happening when I run hadoop in local-only mode? Are there any processes on my machine that are "always on" and executing hadoop jobs? Or does hadoop only do things when I run the "hadoop" command from the command line? What is eclipse doing when I run a mapreduce job from eclipse? I had to reference hadoop-core in my pom.xml in order to make my project work. Is eclipse submitting jobs to my installed hadoop instance, or is it somehow running it all from the hadoop-core-1.0.0.jar in my maven cache?

Here is my Main class :

public class Main {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {     
        Job job = new Job();
        job.setJarByClass(Main.class);
        job.setJobName("FirstStage");

        FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path("/home/sangfroid/project/in"));
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("/home/sangfroid/project/out"));

        job.setMapperClass(FirstStageMapper.class);
        job.setReducerClass(FirstStageReducer.class);

        job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        job.setOutputValueClass(Text.class);

        System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
      }
}
