Usually it was just a matter of Googling something like "java rss" if I was in need of an rss library. Once I found a library which seemed useful and supported, in this case, ROME <http://rometools.org/> I'd then look for the maven link on their site or googled "rome maven". Usually you can find the link pretty fast, but the mvn repository <http://mvnrepository.com/> also seems like a could place to check. Once you find the most recent version you just stick that in your project.clj file and let lein handle the rest. It isn't an exact process by any means but it worked well. One way that seems to me a good way to help projects get more docs is to > create a fork and add and/or improve existing docstrings. ... > Yeah, when I stated that I found myself digging around on github there's actually two sides to it. Yeah it was a bummer that there aren't docs on more libraries, but the flip side of the coin is that it is a testament to the language that I could actually do so and grok other people's code after only a few weeks of use. It seems to me that the 3 major style rules are: > > 1. line up args vertically, > 2. use 2-space indents, and > 3. let Emacs otherwise do indenting for you. > > Minor note: that 3rd rule can be difficult to follow if, say, you're not > using Emacs. :) Thank you. One of my big disappointments with the project was that I couldn't use Emacs working. I've always been awed by some of the descriptions of emacs lisp editing environments and I wanted to experience that myself. Unfortunately there is some issue with Windows 7 and file permissions and I setting up the Emacs side that I could never resolve through googling. Perhaps it would be worth spending more time to fix, but I hadn't even used the language and I just wanted to use something that worked, which for its faults, Eclipse and counterclockwise did.
