On a related note, I was wondering if anyone had taken a stab at Clojure stub generation. That is, on the "generate-sources" phase, you generate .java files that stub out the classes you mean to create in Clojure. Javac comes along, sees the stubs, and can compile all the classes together. Then, once Javac has done its work, you run Clojure to replace the stubbed .class files with the real thing. Solves the "chicken-and- egg" problem quite nicely. The stubs would contain Javadoc, annotations, and generics (eventually...), allowing Java frameworks to easily consume classes compiled from Clojure. That is, it would work with the compile-time annotation processor from Java 5 and 6, and it would also work with Maven plugins, since they use Javadoc (in Maven 2, at least) for annotations. I had imagined that Maven plugins would just sort of fall out from having a good stub generator. Has anyone talked about doing something like this??? This is how the Groovy cross-compiler works, and how GMaven (the Groovy Maven plugin) performs cross compilation. Of course, it should be much easier to do with Clojure. With Groovy you have to worry about all the intricacies of ANTLR, but parsing in Clojure is dead simple. Theoretically you should just have to look for the correct function names and metadata and spit out Java source. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
