An all-in-one Clojure environment built on Emacs and Slime
All you need is Java 1.5 or later. If Clojure Box can find java.exe on
your system (usually it's in C:\Windows\system32), it provides the rest.
Clojure Box consists of these components:
- Clojure http://clojure.org
- Clojure Contrib http://clojure.org
- Emacs, via EmacsW32 http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html
- clojure-mode http://github.com/technomancy/clojure-mode
- swank-clojure http://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure
- Slime http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/
- Paredit http://mumble.net/~campbell/emacs/paredit.el
Paredit is included for your convenience, but you'll have to activate it
in ~/.emacs.
(require 'paredit)
(add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)))Thanks to all the developers of these excellent packages!
Clojure Box's startup is controlled by default.el in the emacs\site-lisp
directory under the installation. You can put your own customizations in
your .emacs file (these customizations will not be overwritten by future
Clojure Box or Emacs installations). Type C-x C-f and enter ~/.emacs.
Edit the file and save it with C-x C-s. ~ is the same as your HOME
environment variable, or the application data directory under your user
profile if you have no HOME.
To make your own code available to Clojure's import function, the
easiest way is to put your source files under src and jars under lib in
your project directory. Then run M-x swank-clojure-project and tell the
prompt your directory.
Another way is to add jars or source directories to the classpath in
your .emacs. To make C:/dev/project/src/a.clj and everything in
C:/dev/my-lib.jar available, put this:
(setq swank-clojure-classpath
(list "C:/dev/project/src" "C:/dev/my-lib.jar"))To add more, put them in the same list as above or add to that list:
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-classpath "C:/dev/my-lib-c/src")You'll have to restart the REPL to make new jars available.
Emacs may not respect custom JAVA_HOME settings on Windows Vista 64-bit.
If you're having trouble running the right Java, try specifying an
absolute java.exe in ~/.emacs:
(setq swank-clojure-java-path
"\"C:/Program Files/Java/XXXXX/java.exe\"")The installer is built with Inno Setup. The installer source file is included with Clojure Box.
