Line 13?
I don't think you are showing all the code.
Perchance you are refering to MyClass elsewhere in your code and since
my-test is nil, you will be lacking an expected import?
I put the following:
(def x nil)
(if x
(do (import '(java.io IOException))))
(println "poke")
In a file, and executed that as the argument to clojure.main, and it
did not print any stack trace. This was with revision 1232.
