Is there some simple way to spin-up the REPL and start stepping through top-level expressions in a source file? (I've probably missed something simple.)
Background-- Eclipse 3.4.2 is running on my MacBook under OS 10.4.11. Works fine for a little Java programming. Wanted to get back to programming in Lisp. Stumbled across the Clojure videos last weekend, installed closure-dev Eclipse plug-in, successfully ran R Mark Vokmann's "desktop" example from http://jnb.ociweb.com/jnb/jnbMar2009.html So, everthing looks good when I start Eclipse and open a little test Clojure file in a Clojure project. And, from the menubar Run As- >Clojure REPL works. However, Clojure->Evaluate Top Level S-Expression only shows output if there's REPL active in the Eclipse Console. Current work-around: add a one line Clojure file (println "started") to my Clojure project. Open one-liner as if to edit it, select Run As- >Clojure REPL. This leaves a REPL active in Eclipse Console. Now, open file I'm really editing. Clojure->Evaluate Top Level S-Expression works as expected. I'm hoping there's something simple I've overlooked, eg-- --a preference setting to activate REPL on Clojure editing, or first Clojure->Evaluate Top Level S-Expression --a call to short terminate REPL processing, ie, go back to listening to the Eclipse Console, (end-of-readable-file) or some such to "pause" Run As->Clojure REPL before it tries to run buggier code. I'd move s-expr that test OK, up above the (end-of-readable-file) Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
