Hey, the feature already exists like I mentioned on github. I'm just not sure about its state since it is "marked" experimental [1]. I'm not sure how it came into existence or what the backstory was but if I understand the code correctly you are supposed to include a deps.cljs in your .jar which contains something like
{:externs ["my/externs.js"]} where my/externs.js is also included in your .jar so everything is available via the classpath. Not sure how well this solution works since you might run into conflicts if 2 libraries provide similar externs. Not sure how Closure handles this sort of conflict. The feature was introduce in February 2012, maybe the original authors can chime in here. Cheers, /thomas [1] https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/9fd6bf5bd55421c3d5becacc5230ed661d6fb3c3/src/clj/cljs/closure.clj#L838 PS: the feature probably won't work with shadow-build currently, need to look into that.
