Hello,

Welcome, second external user of clojure-dev ! :-).

You will find clojure-dev developers in this mailing list. And, if
others think the discussions become too clojure-dev centric, we can
still continue this on the user group for clojure-dev.

First of all, let me say there's an update site for what is considered
the less buggy version, and I try to maintain this update site as soon
as new functionalities are out : "Release early, release often !" :-)

The URL for the update site : http://clojure-dev.googlecode.com/svn/updatesite/

It could be interesting that you test clojure-dev first via the update
site, because it can help detect installation problems.
The update site is hosted directly in clojure-dev svn repo, since
there seems to be no possibility to host a static (unversioned) web
site at google code for the moment.

Please note that, as you can guess from its version number (0.0.7),
clojure-dev is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, you should be able
to do what you described above, so please try again with the version
packaged in the update site.

I have no time just right now, but in an hour or two I will make a
summary page on the wiki concerning the current set of functionalities
for clojure-dev.

Just ONE word concerning clojure-dev philosophy : we want to embrace
the fact that clojure runs on the JVM. So we will try to use as many
classical java mechanisms and standards as possible.

For example, a clojure project is really just a java project with
library dependencies on clojure.
- By default the clojure wizard will create a java project that will
add an external dependency on the clojure library that is embedded
with clojure dev. But you can remove this dependency, and replace it
with the clojure version you want : this clojure version will then be
the one used for launching REPL, browsing the namespace ...
- You can also "enable clojure" on an existing java project : here
again, the wizard will just add a dependency for you.

In both cases, clojure-dev will also add a clojure "nature" to your
project, that is registering a new builder (clojure builder). This
builder will (because right now it does nothing) build compiled
versions of clojure namespaces, so that you can see the corresponding
classes in normal java code for java-clojure collaboration.

Fiouuu, this was a long post again,

Regards,
