If you want to build applications or tools with the CDH 5 components and you are using Maven or Ivy for dependency management, you can pull the CDH 5 artifacts from the Cloudera Maven repository. The repository is available at https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/. The following is a sample POM (pom.xml) file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
