Hi there, I'm a new to Clojure (having started in late November), and a long-time Eclipse user. As such, I consider myself part of "the target audience" that Ken appears to find underserved in this case, and hence wanted to throw in my two cents. My first instinct was to Google "eclipse clojure plugin", the exact same way that I've previously Googled "eclipse git plugin", "eclipse scala plugin", etc. Then, I click obvious "install-related" links until I find the update site URL. I was up and running with counterclockwise in about 10 minutes. "The Eclipse way" of doing things is pretty arcane for the uninitialized. Once you get through the frustration of dealing with the poorly-organized Eclipse website and learning the appropriate secret handshakes, it eventually becomes usable and "intuitive" (or at least, your mind eventually warps itself to fit the Eclipse mould). That this seems so strange to "outsiders" (or indeed that non-regular Eclipse users are made to feel like outsiders) is the fault of the Eclipse project, in my opinion. That said, getting started with CCW was totally intuitive, at least for me. Hope that helps, Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
