Hello! Thanks for the speedy turnaround! It looks like this fix clears up the issue.
Thanks a lot, Edward ________________________________ From: clojure@googlegroups.com [clojure@googlegroups.com] on behalf of Gil Tene [g...@azulsystems.com] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2012 12:32 AM To: clojure@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Clojure (Slim 1.4.0) and Azul don't like each other We've tracked down the problem, and it turns out to be a semantic issue around forced vs. hinted initialization (or initialization avoidance) on explicit class loading. It appears that Clojure makes multiple Class.forName() calls on the same class, with the first call intended to avoid static initialization, and the subsequent calls forcing initialization. We believe the issue may be with a difference between the Zing and OpenJDK HotSpot implementations of the spec for these calls. We've created and quickly tested a replacement implementation of Class.forName() that mirrors OpenJDK HotSpot's exact behavior, and it seems to resolve the Clojure startup issues in our simple test. We'll include this change in a coming dot release for Zing, but in the meantime, we prepared an override jar file that can be placed in the booth class path to test the behavior. I'll get that to you via e-mail. Please test it and let us know if it resolves your issue. -- Gil. On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 9:26:37 AM UTC-7, Edward Z.

We got around the problem described here (http://www.mail-archive.com/clojure@googlegroups.com/msg17276.html) by switching to slim, but now we are getting this exception: ExceptionInInitializerError: Compiler$CompilerException: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: close, compiling:(clojure/core.clj:6139) Any advice?
