I decided to test-drive CCW to see if it had leapfrogged Enclojure. Apparently not: whereas it was quick and easy to get NB 6.9.1 and Enclojure installed, create a new Clojure project, and get a REPL, trying the same with Eclipse and CCW rapidly hit a snag.
The Eclipse download went without a hitch; I installed the newest version (as of the datestamp of this email). Finding and downloading CCW from inside Eclipse also was not difficult, and it restarted without any misbehavior. Creating a new Clojure project from a menu item was also straightforward. The problem is, apparently CCW's idea of a "new Clojure project" is simply a new Java project that has the clojure and clojure.contrib jars as preconfigured dependencies. No menu options exist to create a new Clojure namespace .clj file, nor to create a REPL using the project dependencies, unlike the case with Enclojure; just the usual Java options for generating Java class and interface files, etc. (I examined the main menus and the right-click menus for the Clojure project object and its src folder; no dice. I also clicked the change-perspective gadget after noticing it indicating a "Java" perspective, to see if there was a separate "Clojure" perspective to change to, which might make the desired options appear in the interface; also no dice.) I could use the new-generic-file option to create files with the .clj extension and maybe I'd even get Clojure syntax highlighting and indenting in the editor if I did so; I didn't bother to check. Lack of any apparent way to launch a project REPL is a deal-breaker for me. Looks like I'm sticking with Enclojure for the foreseeable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
