Clojure does use the context classloader by default for its "root"
classloader (on top of which it sometimes creates new
DynamicCLassloaders). This behaviour is controlled by the value of
*use-context-classloader*, which is true by default.
I don't have any java web start experience, so I'm afraid I can't
provide any further advice. Anyone else here that does?

I am writing a 3rd party module in Clojure for a Java Web Start

I am using Clojure 1.1.
I think that my clojure program and clojure.jar are on the classpath
and are being loaded because when clojure.jar is not seen on the class
path this error results: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
clojure.lang.IFn
I am not getting that error so I think that my clojure program and
clojure.jar are seen on the classpath and are being loaded.
This is the error I am getting:
Could not locate clojure/core__init.class or clojure/core.clj on
classpath
I think that clojure uses the system classloader by default. Is this
correct? However, according to the Java Web Start documentation, the
system classloader doesn't work with Java Web Start:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/faq.html#211
The Java Web Start documentation says that the following classloader
should be used:
ClassLoader cl = Thread.getCurrent().getContextClassLoader();
My question is, how do I tell clojure to use this classloader so that
clojure can load it's own code?
