Hi Santanu, Unfortunately, this is not a well-documented area, but it is possible. Here's the high-level view, but don't expect these instructions to be sufficient:
1. Put (:gen-class) in the (ns...) declaration in your .clj file. 2. Add a -main function like: (defn -main [& args] ...) 3. Compile your namespace with (compile...) This generates .class files. 4. Run your class with "java your.namespace.name" 5. (Optional) Use jar or ant to create a .jar file with a manifest that specifies your class as the Main-Class. No, this is not easy. You need to know Java pretty thoroughly to have any hope of success. At some point I hope to write an article with more details. In the mean time, search the list to learn about gen- class and compile. -Stuart Sierra On Apr 29, 7:04 am, Santanu <thisissant...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I wanted to compile a .clj clojure file into a .jar/.class file so > that I could run it using java.
