I do have a novel idea to work around this but I've yet to put my theory to code and publish it.
The problems I had when loading clojure based bundles into OSGi was that after unloading, the classes remained loaded by the bundle providing RT. The basic idea was to add a bundle listener to the OSGi bundle, that when uninstalled, unloads the namespace from RT (unfortunately I can't seem to spot that API anywhere anymore). mark On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 8:54 AM, Stuart Sierra <the.stuart.sie...@gmail.com>wrote: > > It's possible to modify Clojure to run under OSGi (search the list > archives) but fundamentally they don't fit.
