I think it may be worth noting the size and complexity of that blog post in contrast to these:
Netbeans setup on Windows: 1. Download Netbeans+JDK from the options at the Netbeans site. 2. Run installer. 3. Run Netbeans. 4. Browse in its built-in plugin-browser for Enclojure and install that. 5. Create a project and launch a REPL. Now you have a working Clojure code editor and Clojure REPL and can evaluate expressions from the one in the other. Eclipse setup on Windows: 1. Download Eclipse+JDK from the options at the Eclipse site. 2. Run installer. 3. Run Eclipse. 4. Browse in its built-in plugin-browser for CCW and install that. 5. Tools/Refresh Perspective or something similar. 6. Create a project and launch a REPL. Now you have a working Clojure code editor and Clojure REPL and can evaluate expressions from the one in the other. Clooj setup on Windows: 1. Download a JDK (or maybe even a JRE?). 2. Install it. 3. Download clooj. 4. Double-click jar file for clooj. 5. Create a project and launch a REPL. Now you have a working Clojure code editor and Clojure REPL and can evaluate expressions from the one in the other. I think all three of these *combined* are probably simpler than that blog post. There's also only one arguably tricky/nonobvious/RTFM-requiring step, and that's step 5 in the Eclipse setup. From the original post's description, the whole motivation of the blog post is to document the tricky steps for the emacs setup, of which there are apparently a great many. This isn't, by the way, to say that "emacs sucks!". It's more "emacs setup sucks!" with perhaps a dash of "ported software sucks!"; the other three options above may also not be native Windows software, per se, but they are a) explicitly OS-neutral rather than designed originally for a specific OS that isn't Windows and b) obedient towards what have become, for better or for worse, the world's defacto standard editor-keybinding and GUI conventions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
