Well said! Here's a pair of helpful links or anyone who wants to Maven + Clojure for a spin: http://pupeno.com/blog/how-to-create-a-clojure-application/ http://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin And for those who haven't tried it, you can run 'mvn clojure:repl' in your project to get a REPL running with all the dependencies (including transitive ones) defined in your pom.xml -- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Brian Schlining bschlin...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
