I found the answer and fixed it and it works! Yes, *use-context-classloader* is true by default.
But, the context classloader wasn't the right classloader, so I had to set context classloader to the right classloader, at the right place before any clojure code is called like this: Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader()); Whoop! Found this online which also helped me figure this out: http://www.assembla.com/spaces/clojure/tickets/260-cannot-load-clojure-classes-from-jar-files-outside-classpath-using-urlclassloader Mudge On Jul 5, 4:53 am, Chas Emerick <cemer...@snowtide.com> wrote: > Clojure does use the context classloader by default for its "root" > classloader (on top of which it sometimes creates new > DynamicCLassloaders).
