That contrib has not been fully migrated yet. There is no build for it (on build.clojure.org) and therefore it is not getting any Maven releases yet. > I have to say that from the point of view of application developers > the current state of contrib likely means I won't be migrating to 1.3 > anytime soon.

The new contrib modules are usable with Clojure 1.2 code by design (and by mandate - the matrix tests are being run automatically against Clojure 1.2, Clojure 1.2.1 and Clojure 1.3.0). See, for example, this matrix for clojure.java.jdbc : http://build.clojure.org/job/java.jdbc-test-matrix/ > I already have one such bug that I reported > (and provided a fix) for clojure.contrib.json.

If it hasn't been fixed in clojure.data.json, please create an issue here : http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/DJSON There should be a JIRA project for every active new contrib - http://dev.clojure.org/jira There should also be automated builds (both regular and matrix tests) on build.clojure.org > I think issues like that are fundamentally important if Clojure is to > be adopted for production work. I agree - which is why I'm pushing on clojure-dev for some serious attention to be paid to the contrib migration issue. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
