As I understand it, this is a problem only for gen-class'ed namespaces. clojure-contrib has a few. But many libraries never AOT compile for precisely the same reason. Clojure Maven plugin has a switch which can be used only to compile declared namespaces. But until the upstream resolves the issue, I suggest we move in step. Fortunately, we don't have many clojure packages in debian yet. Ramakrishnan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
