These are versions bundled with clojuredev. Then, if you want to change them for your own version, call the project's context menu > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > and change them to suit your needs. If you want to give a quick try to the plugin, without compromising your (potentially) existing eclipse installation : - download and install eclipse for java : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/ganymedesr2 - start it - Go to Help > Software updates > Available Software > Add Site - Add the update site : http://clojure-dev.googlecode.com/svn/updatesite/ - Expand the tree through to the "Clojuredev feature" leaf , check it, click install (in the top right corner) - agree to all licensing / approval requests stuff, quit the download installer, accept to restart eclipse - optionally : quick check that the plugin is correctly installed by verifying that you see clojuredev's feature in Help > About Eclipse Platform > (you should see a clojure logo, and by clicking on it and then clicking on "plugin details" it you should see 4 installed plugins) - you should be in the java perspective (if not : Window > Open perspective > Other > Java ) - create a clojure project File > New > clojure project (if you don't see clojure project, just refresh the perspective via Window > Refresh Perspective), enter a name, and voila! - select your project's node in the package explore. Clic Ctr+F11 on windows (or more generally the shortcut for your OS can be seen via Run > Run menu), this will start the java project by calling repl_ln, and you will see the REPL in the console of the launched project To be sure that you will not encounter any problem, I've reproduced the above steps while writing, it took me about 10 minutes. I hope you have a similar experience. As a final word, I would say that I'm pretty sure there are also decent ways to add libraries to other IDE's platforms. Since they're all open source initiatives, there is certainly still a lack of coverage in documentation, and bugs and ... (they are plenty of bugs in clojuredev too :-), so I would invite you to try and use the plugin for your editor of choice, and help the plugins authors for this environment improve it by submitting bugs (even if you find a workaround to a bug, submitting a bug will help other users not having to re-find this same workaround), request enhancement. Don't also hesitate to explicit what would be your priorities for new functionalities ... I personally, as a contributor to Eclipse, am not willing to attract people to eclipse that would have no interest in learning it. My intend is to help spread clojure over the developers community, by letting them use their favorite tool, Eclipse being one of the choices.
