Leiningen

"Leiningen!" he shouted. "You're insane! They're not creatures you can
fight--they're an elemental--an 'act of God!' Ten miles long, two
miles wide--ants, nothing but ants! And every single one of them a
fiend from hell...
-- from Leiningen Versus the Ants by Carl Stephenson

Leiningen is a build tool for Clojure designed to not set your hair on fire.

Usage

$ lein deps # install dependencies in lib/

$ lein compile # ahead-of-time compile into classes/

$ lein repl # launch a REPL with the project classpath configured

$ lein jar # create a jar of the compiled project

$ lein uberjar # create standalone jar that bundles dependencies too

Configuration

Place a build.clj file in the project root that looks something like this:

(defproject leiningen
  :version "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [["org.clojure" "clojure" "1.1.0-alpha-SNAPSHOT"]
                 ["org.clojure" "clojure-contrib" "1.0-SNAPSHOT"]
                 ["org.clojure" "lancet" "1.0-SNAPSHOT"]
                 ["org.apache.ant" "ant" "1.7.1"]
                 ["org.apache.ant" "ant-launcher" "1.7.1"]
                 ["org.apache.maven" "maven-ant-tasks" "2.0.10"]])
