My apologies, you are right, I'm wrong. Maybe I should not do tests at 2 a.m. that I'm then unable to reproduce when I'm really awaken :-) > You can avoid evaluation of expressions during > compilation conditionally using *compile-files*: Thanks for this. But for my problem at hand, I'm not in the position of the clojure user, I'm in the position of the clojure IDE developer, thinking about the possibility to incorporate automatic lib compilation on behalf of the IDE user. I wanted to provide that by starting -in my IDE and under the hoods- a clojure environment in a separate jvm, solely dedicated to compilation, code completion, ... . But I now think I can't do that reliably if when I'm trying to compile from the IDE a plugin, popups, Swing JFrames, ... start to jump on the face of the user because there is executable code in some files the IDE is automatically compiling ! ;-) ;-) I don't think of another alternative, yet :-( If some of you can give me ideas, you're welcome ! > So I'm not sure how you concluded that expressions aren't evaluated - > they are.
