There are a number of different possibilities. Without anything more specific the only realistic answer is "read the source of all the libraries you are using, and of clojure, and of lein and look for tricks with classloaders"
Clojure does some classloader fiddling, but so do most jvm build tools and many libraries and frameworks. >From memory: Clojure uses a dynamic classloader stored in a var in a static field on the compiler class. The parent of the dynamic classloader is either the context classloader or the system classloader. In certain cases the compiler will use a new dynamic classloader for the extent of compilation. The relevent code is in RT.java, DynamicClassloader.java, and Compiler.java On Jan 5, 2012 3:00 PM, "Daniel Bell" <dchristianb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Kevin, but I'm not so much looking for debugging help on this > specific issue as I'm asking what I should do if I want to be able to, > say, help others with similar issues in the future.
