Hi, I'm relatively new to Clojure, maybe this is well known problem please excuse me for this. First, let me give some context and then ask the question; (maybe it's interesting story for somebody out there )
I was developing remote logger server in Clojure recently. Core.async, generally Clojure realms is perfect but I needed some java libraries in the process. For example, Netty for handling TCP connections, I've been using it for years with Java projects and suddenly It took my one day to start it working in Clojure. It was a bug or something else, thanks to this link saved my time: http://blog.quiptiq.com/2013/05/20/porting-the-netty-discardserver-example-to-clojure/ I tried to understand the reason behind it, but I couldn't dig deeper at the time. ( It's working but in project I can't use CIDER with emacs anymore, but that's ok for now, I made it library for my real project which is using it.) I want to move forward, that was the irrelevant part. Now, I can see my logs but in terminal, not formatted or something, it's like using tail (full of println 's), let's add some UI part to it. First, I want to listen for HTTP on some port and give a web page which renders the result but it needs more work to make it like streaming rather than static page. This is only for my use and I decided to use simple Java-based UI, but all the hassle we all know with Swing and I wondered again the solution was to use JavaFX but in a cool way with basic web page (I can style(layout) it easily), the solution is WebView. Ok it's easy to setup, let's do that. At the time, (one hour ago) I was using Clojure 1.6 (in Java 8 runtime), I can run simple things with JavaFX but here is the deal; (import 'javafx.scene.web.WebEngine) or (Class/forName "javafx.scene.web.WebEngine") give me; *NoClassDefFoundError Could not initialize class javafx.scene.web.WebEngine > java.lang.Class.forName0 (Class.java:-2)* I couldn't figure out first, I dig deeper and found nothing wrong with my code. I removed all context (lein, project etc.) and simply downloaded clojure from clojure.org and fired up REPL and boom! same thing again. It's working with clojure 1.7 (huge relief). The real question here is I want to understand why and what's different from java's Class.forName and Clojure's Class/forName semantic ? *( By the way, java interop is enough to get things working but from my experience it causes a lot of pains in the process, you can see it in two big problems in a simple getting started project. I guess it's not so easy for us to get out of Java's hell )* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
