I use Enclojure/NetBeans myself, but it occurred to me to check out
the current state of its Eclipse counterpart.

But I can't find it anywhere. Google returns tons of results, of
course, but they're all third-party results except the first, which is
a code.google.com repository. *None* of the top ten results are the
home page of the plugin; if you're just looking to download the binary
and use it, or read about it in plain English, you're going to ignore
the Google Code link, and if you want to get your information from the
horse's mouth, you'll ignore all of the other hits and then give up.

This is a problem for Counterclockwise, which really should have its
own web site in the top ten (and preferably at the very top) of a
Google search for "counterclockwise clojure" (no quotation marks in
the actual search).

Contrast with the results of searching for "enclojure": the first hit
is the enclojure.org home page and the next two are other pages at
enclojure.org. Then the discussion group, hosted by Google. Fifth is
the source code repository. Third-party content, such as people
blogging about it, starts around the seventh returned hit, versus the
second with Counterclockwise with only the repository ranking higher.

In particular, if there is a counterclockwise.org or a
counterclockwise.com or anything similar it does not show up in the
top ten.

The situations with swank-clojure and La Clojure are similar to that
with Counterclockwise, though emacs users are probably just going to
download the source from the repository and run it anyway and
apparently IDEA has a plugin repository it can automatically download
and install plugins from, like NB (and, perhaps, Eclipse). The lack of
an obvious Google-findable starting point for reading about any of
these first before installing them or doing something with their
source code is troubling, regardless.
