Also, I've always found the startup time of Leiningen to be too long to be usable--I'm very, very impatient--so I stopped using it a while back for startup; most of the time is due to itself being written in Clojure, which is awesome, but one thing about Clojure/JVM that just isn't awesome is precisely its startup time. Using an ugly shell script worked fine for a while, but then I wanted some more niceties, basically to run a script with just a few directory arguments and have it figure it all out, hunt the jars anywhere in the path, use only the latest versions of two colliding jars for the same package, and find .clj files and corresponding roots to add to the classpath and start my VM. So I wrote one; it also provides startup options for swank, the vanilla repl, nrepl, and to just run as a main program.
Basically I just clone all the projects I need in a single directory and then I run: streamlined --swank [DIR] and it pretty much works. You can still use "lein deps" on projects to fetch their dependencies (only once). You can also specify a number of directories, and add explicit classpaths with -c (I do this in a Makefile these days). Also, -v or -vv will output lots of juicy info about what it does so you can debug issues very easily. You can find the latest version here if that makes your life simpler (it's a single Python script): http://furius.ca/pubcode/pub/conf/bin/streamlined.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
