I do consider this critical, especially for newcomers. I already had the Clojure edit mode that could be installed from the Plugins menu, and my buffers say "clojure" at the bottom so I assume it is working. (And I can also execute Clojure code via the Plugins>Clojure Shell menus.) But following your advice I downloaded the mode file you linked, found a modes directory (on Mac OS X within the application package and a couple levels down), replaced the clojure.xml that was there with the new one, quit and restarted jEdit, and... it seems to behave the same as it did previously :-( Was one of these steps incorrect? >> BTW I also didn't see how to affect the class path, so that I could refer to >> one file from another (or use a library from somewhere else, but in my case >> I was just trying to run a program with code in two files).

The preferred ways to include code from libraries/files are require or use (preferably in ns forms) and these should work. Ideally they would find things in some obvious location (like the location of the source file you're executing) by default, and ideally there'd be a simple way to customize this. I think that having no way to go beyond code in a single file, aside from using load-file, would prevent anyone from using this as platform for more than a quick experiment. -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
