I'm not sure how you could make it any simpler.
FWIW for some JVM newcomers (like me when I started) #6 involves some mysteries related to where exactly the jar should be saved and how exactly the other code can be told to find it. It varies depending on how you run your code (e.g. whether you have to figure out how to construct a -cp argument or do other non-obvious things in a complex IDE, etc.) and then there's the hierarchical namespace/directory structure correspondence, which I found initially surprising and confusing. Bottom line is that I agree that leiningen makes all of this simpler, assuming that your editor and other tools play nice with leiningen. I'm just pointing out that the manual method is actually a little worse than you've implied, for people new to JVM programming. -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
