 People have posted recipes for using lein and Eclipse/CCW together,
but at least as far as I've tried them none is yet really satisfying
-- a few too many steps doing things that are opaque and weird on the
Eclipse side.

Yes, the ideal is probably some sort of notemacs/lein combination for
some suitable choice of notemacs and with some kind of "one-shot
install clojure, lein, on Windows anything else needed to just do
'lein foo' from the command prompt e.g. Python interpreter, and
notemacs" distributable.

My concern there is with newbies just getting their feet wet in
Clojure needing to hack a Clojure file in order to start learning how
to hack Clojure files. :)
