I recently learned that merely importing a Java class in Clojure causes static initializers to be run. Sometimes, this causes compilation errors, because they are written with the assumption that they will only be run during runtime.
I ran into this just now while trying to make a simple Clojure game with LibGDX. After simply importing its Timer class, I began getting compilation errors. The stack trace shows it is due to a static initializer<https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/511b557c1a2d23bf8110a05b0ef54cc20b7f958d/gdx/src/com/badlogic/gdx/utils/Timer.java#L32>attempting to instantiate the class! I also ran into this recently while trying to use RoboVM. My question is, do I have any options? I haven't found many discussions about this here or elsewhere. This surprises me, because it seems like something more people should be running into. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
