We have this problem at work with a large multi-module maven build.

It doesn't address the building of Java libraries, but I've recently added a feature to Leiningen (currently only available in git) that lets you co-develop several libraries in parallel without going through an explicit install/fetch-dependencies dance. See this thread on the Leiningen mailing list for details: http://groups.google.com/group/leiningen/browse_thread/thread/f67cb42c06515e53 The feature hasn't seen a lot of use, but it is pretty simple. There is a javac plugin for Leiningen, but it's intended for use in Clojure projects that happen to have one or two .java files that need compilation (due to annotations or some such), not for building all-java projects, so this may not cut it for your purposes. But either way I would love to get more feedback on the approach. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
