Matteo, which version of clojure-contrib are you using ? The latest has the String class but an earlier version may not have it. To see the content:
jar -tf clojure-contrib.jar You should see a string.clj in the list of components in the library and some string$xxx.class files. If not you are using an older snapshot. Make sure the versions of Clojure and contrib are compatible (either all 1.0, all 1.1 or latest 1.2 snapshots) otherwise you will end up with strange behaviors.
