Thanks a lot. I was trying to avoid reflection (ie, looking for a clojure idiom), especially to get an understanding on what are clojure limitations. The eval form still shows some problems, if I do this preparation: (import javax.swing.JFileChooser) (def jfc (new JFileChooser)) And then do: user=> (.setFileSelectionMode jfc 1) nil All good here, but, if I do the eval variation, user=> (eval (list (symbol ".setFileSelectionMode") jfc 1)) I get: #<CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't embed object in code, maybe print-dup not defined In theory it should work? What basic mistake am I doing here? BTW: user=> (println (list (symbol ".setFileSelectionMode") jfc 1)) (.setFileSelectionMode #<JFileChooser javax.swing.JFileChooser[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=ja...]> 1) So the list for the eval looks good...
