Hi Tim, The next revision of the book will include Section 3.3, "Calling Clojure from Java" which shows how to create a standalone Java application. The sample code is already checked in to github [1], and the relevant file is examples/tasklist.clj.
Also, the lancet application [2] can now compile itself into a standalone JAR. The technique used there is to unjar clojure and contrib, drop your own code onto it, and rejar. There is no "one size fits all" solution for packaging and deployment-- this is a fact if life that Clojure inherits from the Java world. Cheers, Stuart hAlloway [1] http://github.com/stuarthalloway/programming-clojure/tree/master [2] http://github.com/stuarthalloway/lancet/tree/master > I'm struggling to understand exactly what form(s) a Clojure program > can take.
