Maybe a silly question, but anyway ... for CCW, there is this idea of having it maintain, for each open project (probably depending on a flag, but that's out of topic), in the background (totally transparently for the user), a running JVM environment where CCW would maintain the project classes and namespaces loaded and up-to-date. Thus CCW would be able to suggest code completion, report errors, etc., without having to rely on/interfere with the JVMs the user may have started for his own needs.
Of course, it would be desirable to be able to not blow all the user's computer memory ... so maybe having the ability to share JVM between several open projects in the IDEA, while keeping isolated different clojure environments, would be a plus. I had the idea of investigating what the project classlojure has to provide for this ... but maybe Jark would also be worth studying for this purpose, or would it not be the appropriate tool for the job ? 2011/5/5 isaac praveen <icylis...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > It is a pleasure to announce the release of Jark 0.3, today. > > Why Jark? > Startup time of the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) is too slow and thereby > command-line applications on the JVM are sluggish and very painful to > use. > Jark is an attempt to run a persistent JVM daemon and provide a set of > utilities to control and operate on it. > It should help in deploying clojure applications on the JVM, running > command-line applications written in clojure and remote-debugging. > > The motivation is also to provide a very thin nrepl-client that can > run on any given OS platform.
