To me, all this stuff seems to magical, for example that swank-clojure downloads the required clojure/contrib jars (at least the comment in the el-file says so). How do I know what version it will fetch? How does it know when to update those jars? I already installed leiningen, so all clojure files are already contained in leiningen-1.1.0-standalone.jar somewhere in ~/.m2/repository/. Can I use those somehow? > Do you realize that package.el is going to be included in Emacs 24? Well, in general I think that's a good thing. But it has to be enhanced with better version checking. For example, I used to have a SLIME CVS checkout and used that for my lisp editing needs. But swank-clojure from ELPA requires some older SLIME version only accible via ELPA again. This "use one ELPA package and catch (already accessible duplicate) dependencies" is a bad thing, IMO. But I guess it will become better as soon as ELPA matures and is accepted as emacs package standard. BTW: Now I installed slime, slime-repl, clojure-mode and swank-clojure from ELPA. I symlinked the leiningen-1.1.0-standalone.jar in the maven repo from ~/.clojure/ so that the jar should be picked up. When I do M-x slime RET I only get this error: ,---- | Clojure 1.1.0 | user=> java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate swank/swank__init.class or swank/swank.clj on classpath: (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) | user=> user=> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: swank.swank (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) | user=> user=> nil | java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: swank.swank (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) `---- What's wrong?
