Clojure service engine
Hello, I would like to explore (and in the future propose for addition ?!) a Clojure service engine implementation. I would like to ask for feedback on this topic. Guidance as to how approach this process is very much appreciated. I use Clojure as my daily language and it has IMO a lot of feature that make it a great language. I would very much like to have the ability to write OFBiz services (and other components) using Clojure. Arguments for Clojure: - a single library with VERY good backward compatibility - Clojure (lisps in general) hasn't change much - it is dynamic like Groovy - has immutable data structures by default - a big win for developing safe code - seamless inter-op with Java and JVM languages - a very nice development experience using the REPL - simple syntax - once you get the hang of lisp style Clojure uses Maps, Sets and sequences (Collections) to process data so it is an excellent fit since services use map arguments. I will explore this and see the integration points that we have. For starters, I would like to be able to use a Clojure function as a service. Regards, -- Eugen Stan +40720 898 747 / netdava.com
Re: Developing groovyScripts in the IDE
Hi Daniel I am on Eclipse most of the time and use the gradle eclipse plug-in to just build the classpath. I have not faced this issue on Eclipse so can't speak to that. That said, I see no issues with selecting SDK or compiler for the Groovy files. I do it on eclipse and it works without generating dupes. I launch OFBiz from within IDE and can navigate to other OFBiz classes as well. I'll also give it a try on IntelliJ and let you know how it goes.

Hello Emad, I have tried those changes and can confirm that those are working as expected. Thanks!
