This works great for Java libraries, but only libraries that are in a maven repo. How hard is it to get code into a repo? What about java libraries not in a maven repo, or clojure code like clojure-json on GitHub?
1. You could set up your own repo. Ok. Cool, but not the easiest to setup and maintain, plus you need a server. 2. You could install dependencies in your local repo. Cool, if the project happens to be using maven and you can to "mvn install". Uncool, if you have to manually "install" it into your local repo. Also uncool, because I see my local repo more as a cache that can sometimes get crufty and can be cleared out if I need the disk space. Maven *should* be able to re-download my dependencies and put them in my local repo, but not so for these manual workarounds. 3. ??? I'm not trying to be disparaging. If this works for someone, I think it is pretty slick. I'm still of the mind that there could be something better. Something that can pull from a maven repo as needed, but also pull from other sources like github, sourceforge, google code, etc. I'm just spoiled by rubygems. This is an existence proof that there can be a simple way to download and setup dependencies (not without foibles). Perhaps if there was a Clojure Maven Repo (CMR) where people could easily get their code distributed, then I would feel satisfied. What happened to the ClojureForge idea from tech.coop? Did anything come about from that, Drew? Perhaps just hosting CMR with some way to signup for an account to be able to "mvn deploy"?
