There's a simpler way : just invoke "Run as clojure REPL" on the project node in the project explorer, and you will have a new Launch configuration created with the name of the project (and it will, obviously, be launched as well and available in the Console). Currently, the REPL will not have any pre-loaded namespace from the project. Just the stuff necessary to launch a clojure.contrib.repl-ln REPL. Note that you can create as many eclipse launch configurations as you want (of type "Clojure launch configuration"). And in these launch configurations, you can select files that must be loaded when launched. > > > I'm hoping there's something simple I've overlooked, eg-- > --a preference setting to activate REPL on Clojure editing, or first > Clojure->Evaluate Top Level S-Expression Not currently, but this is an interesting feature to have, indeed. > --a call to short terminate REPL processing, ie, go back to listening > to the Eclipse Console, > (end-of-readable-file) or some such to "pause" Run As->Clojure > REPL before it tries to run buggier code. > I'd move s-expr that test OK, up above the (end-of-readable-file) > Sorry, I don't understand this one, could you explain again ? By the way, as you will notice, there are other interesting stuff activated when a REPL is launched for the project: * compilation errors as Eclipse Problem Markers * namespace browser which shows all the vars (public or private) of all currently loaded namespaces, with their documentation when hovering with the mouse, and navigation to the source by double clicking on them. And now, a final capital information :-) : clojure-dev is changing name ! The process is almost done at the technical level. At the "marketing" :-) :-) level (wiki, etc.) it's still TBD and that's why I had not spoken about it. The new name, thanks to an intensive brainstorming session involving the whole clojure community (thanks to all!) and, in the last steps, Stephan Mühlstrasser and Christophe Grand, is "Counterclockwise" , or , for short, ccw. "Clockwise" because of clojure, and "Counter" to make it a little bit more rebel ;-) HTH, -- Laurent > > Thanks in advance. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
