Has anyone successfully created a NetBeans project that combines Clojure and Java source?
I have projects where the driver program (startup, gui, user prefs, etc.) are in Java, but the logic is in Clojure. At the moment, I compile the Clojure code to a jar in one project and import it as a library in a separate Java project. It would be convenient if all the source could be combined in one single NetBeans project.
Has anyone come up with a method to do this?
One possible solution is to modify your NetBeans Java project’s Ant script (build.xml in your root directory) to have it .
By default, NetBeans creates several placeholder Ant targets in the root project directory’s build.xml for you to override to automate tasks beyond the standard build process (such as compiling other languages to use their libraries in your current project). By overriding one of the placeholder targets in that build script such as “-pre-compile” you could write a simple target to call the Clojure compilation process using the Ant “exec” task and place all the resulting class files (or JAR) in the appropriate build directory.
If you do this frequently, you could define an Ant extension (via a macro or Ant plugin) so you don’t have to modify the build.xml each time.
