Yep, I work with a multi-tab console with a rlwrap repl window and another window for builds (ant) and other general stuff, then I use the clojure load function to reload any classes and/or clj sources that have changed, for example; from the repl... (use 'twlib.jty)(start-jty 8080) which loads and starts my jetty instance. The twlib.jty module (clj) uses (ns :use/:import etc, to load all the dependencies. Then during the session, I might say change twlib/xxx.clj, and I then just use (load "twlib/xxx") to reload the new version. It's not totally reloadable as you have to restart if you add new functions or other structural changes. With rlwrap I have the up-arrow/down-arrows set to incremental command history recall, so you can just type one or 2 characters of a previous repl line, hit the up arrow to recall and press Enter to execute. Tabbing between console tabs and with a good recall setup, it's little more than a couple of key strokes to almost instantaneously do a build, reload or restart. And of course you have full interactivity with the executing environmnent (jetty and other java libs, etc) directly through the repl. I also typically have one or more other console tabs open with ssh sessions to (linux) servers where I have similar setups. It sounds messy but it's the most efficient jvm platform dev environment I've worked with. I have the identical setup on my mac laptop and linux servers. I'm not sure how the equivalent would work on Windows though. Rgds, Adrian. On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 2:40 PM, Javier <javu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thank you for your response.
