Making the classpath more manageable is one of the things OSGi
addresses (fine grained dependencies, versioning, runtime swapping of
libraries etc.). Last time I looked (which was quite a while ago)
there were issues with running clojure under OSGi, does anyone know if
that is still the case?

I think that a lot of the benefits that OSGi offers to Java
programmers are probably not as important for Clojure, however the
classpath/dependency management might still be useful.
