I am alien to the Java world and haven't still embrased ELPA, lein and
other tools. Here is my setup which works fine for me:
o. slime
git://git.boinkor.net/slime.git
o. swank-clojure
git://github.com/jochu/swank-clojure.git
o. clojure-mode
git://github.com/jochu/clojure-mode.git
It has worked quite nicely for me until now. I also discovered the
other branch of swank-clojure, which seem to be what people are using
more. I see that it does things like downloading jars etc etc. I would
rather like it to leave them for other tools to do. I have no problem
installing emacs scripts by hand. If so, I wouldn't be using it
anyway, so I just don't see why ELPA and the other swank-clojure
branch is trying to do things that other tools are supposed to do.
