I think these are the right steps, as a whole, but I think I would tackle them in the following order: 1. Develop a Clojure plug-in for the Gradle-based Android build system 2. Examine lein-droid's features and see which can or should be handled by the Android build system 3. Rewrite bits of lein-droid to use the new build system Aside from the work on developing the Gradle plug-in, the key bits is figuring out exactly what lein-droid does and how that maps onto what the new Android build system does. Additionally, would it be possible to generate a build.gradle file from the project.clj? > Questions (Project specific): > 5. Can you elaborate "Unfortunately, because the Android plugin replaces > the Java plugin, the current Clojure plugin doesn't work for Android." What > do you mean "replaces the Java plugin"? Gradle comes with a plug-in to compile Java. Clojuresque, the Clojure plug-in for Gradle depends on this Java plug-in. Unfortunately, the Android build system does away with the Java plug-in (the Android plug-in is in charge of compiling Java), so Clojuresque doesn't work there. This is why a new Clojure plug-in is needed. > Also, can someone highlight in brief some features (of Gradle plugin) that > we are planning to support?

Ideally, you could just include the Clojure plug-in into an Android build.gradle, and it will handle all Clojure sources similarly to Android Java sources are handled (build types, etc.). It should also present all the necessary options to configure the plug-in, such as source directory locations, Clojure compiler options, etc. It would be good to review what Clojuresque supports. > Questions: (GSoC application specific): > 6.
