The common way of running Java applications (and hence Clojure code)
on Windows seems to be to use a batch file wrapper (for example,
lein.bat for Leiningen). It seems to me that there are a number of
issues with this:

Before I spend time trying to solve a problem that the Java community
turns out to have solved years ago ...
For simple-and-quick, make an "executable jar" by adding a
META_INF/Manifest.mf
file which calls out the main entry point to the app; then it runs with a
double-click ('lein uberjar' might already do this?)
For slightly prettier and distributable, make a .jnlp file that lists
jar dependencies, icon, etc.; then download/running the .jnlp installs the
app
to your machine. You don't see this too much, but it works okay for the
basic "install a java app" use case... I think by the time it was finally
possible, a lot of people didn't really care any more. Still, it's better
than nothing.
