FWIW, you also have the option of using Maven in Eclipse: this works as a decent alternative to Leiningen in many cases (downside: you have to learn Maven's quirks - upside: the IDE/tool integration is *much* better, you don't need to lean Leiningen's quirks). I've developed several non-trivial projects in Clojure using Eclipse+CCW+Maven (e.g. Clisk, Ironclad, core.matrix) and never needed to use Leiningen. > > I personally think that Eclipse's ultra-simple install (just unzip it) is > refreshing relative to the complexity of other Windows install programs > which create a lot of junk on my desktop, start menu, and registry.
