Provide a deps.edn for Clojure command line users

[pmonks]

It would be great if the project included a deps.edn file, so that users of the Clojure command line tools can evaluate the library.

I've just tried using a deps.edn file (OSX, jdk 11, brew clojure 1.9.0.397), and it hangs. Looks like its getting stuck on resolving circular deps:

Good catch @jolby! I added a comment regarding classifiers - that may be the issue we're seeing with hangs.

Appears to be blocked on https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TDEPS-79.

I don't understand. Can't the clj users just pull the library down from maven?

I haven't really tried clj so I don't know how it all works.

[pmonks]

@zcaudate yeah that's how clj works, but right now tools.deps (which clj is the front end of) seems to have two bugs:

1. it doesn't detect circular dependencies (so ends up spinlocking)
2. it doesn't appear to be sensitive to classifiers, which (in the case of openjfx) means it ends up synthesising a circular dependency that shouldn't exist, thereby running afoul of the previous point

These are what TDEPS-79 is tracking.

[zcaudate]

Ah. Got it.

Java 8's fine in the meantime.

{:deps {fn-fx/fn-fx-javafx {:mvn/version "0.5.0-SNAPSHOT"}}} works as expected, using:

• macOS 10.13.6
• java 1.8.0_192 via brew cask install java8
• clojure 1.9.0.391 also via brew

https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TDEPS-79 is now resolved. I can confirm deps now works with the latest version of tools.deps
