Another reason why relatively few Windows users might have been running into this: the typical Windows user prefers a graphical application to futzing around at the command line at all, and is consequently likely to install CCW, Enclojure, clooj, or something similar. AFAICT those all work "out of the box" on Windows with a straightforward install process and come "batteries included" with one version or another of Clojure. CCW comes with Leiningen as well and seems to make it work correctly, and the others probably each either do likewise or bypass Leiningen. CCW and clooj, at least, also bundle nrepl and use it to host your REPL in a separate JVM instance and then talk to that. No separate installations of Clojure, Leiningen, or nrepl are needed, though they all appear to require a previously installed JVM rather than bundling that too, or else Eclipse/Netbeans (possibly bundled with a JVM) first and then the corresponding Clojure plugin installed separately afterward. There might actually just not be that many Windows users that start off by directly getting Leiningen and using it from the command line. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
