clojure-tools

=============

This is just a small repo for me to keep track of my Clojure-related tools;

scripts, JAR files, etc. I split this out of my

[dotfiles](https://github.com/rjray/dotfiles) repo since it really didn't fit

the "dotfiles" label any longer.

Contents

--------

Aside from having copies of clojure.jar, clojure-contrib.jar and any others

that I regularly use, the main contents of this repo are a pair of executable

scripts:

### clojure

This is a generalized launcher script for Clojure, written in Perl. It requires

Perl 5.10.0, but uses no external modules, only core Perl. It could be

back-ported to Perl 5.8.0 without too much difficulty. I wrote it because I had

been using a bash script (Jocho's *clojure* script in his

[clojure-extra](https://github.com/jochu/clojure-extra) repository), but found

that I wanted more flexibility in specifying JAR files to the class path, as

well as other options. So I set out to write something only a little more

complex than the original bash script, and ended up with this.

It's ended up being actually quite a bit more complex than the bash script.

But that happens, sometimes.

### swank-clojure

This is a less-general script, probably of less interest to others than the

**clojure** script itself. It is a bash script that uses the **clojure** script

to launch a Swank server using my local copy of

[swank-clojure](https://github.com/jochu/swank-clojure). The body of the script

(the eval-code, etc.) hails from the *swank-clojure* script that the leinengen

tool installs when you have it download/install swank-clojure through maven. I

just adapted it to my needs, is all. This is the script I use to start a Swank

server to use with emacs/SLIME. You're welcome to use it, too, but it has some

hard-coded paths that don't have command-line alternates, unlike the

**clojure** script itself.

General Use

-----------

These are mostly for my own edification, but if others find them useful and

have some helpful suggestions, I'm glad to hear them. For example, **clojure**

is very *nix-centric in how it looks up files and paths, because I generally

don't use Windows platforms. I can fix that, if others really want it, but for

now I have no need to.
