The “trick” I’ve adopted to get around this:
(def my-ns *ns*) I stick that near the top of any file in which I want to refer to _that_ namespace (as opposed to whatever the _current_ value of *ns* is during evaluation, since it’s dynamic).

But if you bootsrap it through the generated java main class, it will return "clojure.core". My intuition would have assumed it would be running under "dda.main" as the *ns*, or at least under "user", since that's a common convention. I'm curious to know why "clojure.core"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
