I think this is a typical emacs misconception. Vim is an editor. Why
should it have to know how a JVM classpath works? Setting this up is the
responsibility of the developer. Put everything in lib/? No problem.
Let maven/gradle/lein handle the classpath? No Problem. Have an esoteric
shell script doing some voodoo incatations? No Problem.

Putting this logic into the editor was the failure in the first place.

Sincerely
Meikel
