Question

I seem to be doing something wrong. I’ve built clojure from git, and am invoking it thus:

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main

I get the repl, and then I type:

(import 'java.lang.string)

and I get:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.string (NO_SOURCE_FILE:1)

I’m trying this with lang.string since I assume it has to exist on the classpath somewhere. I’ve tried other libraries, all without much luck. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

String should be capitalized, that’s all.

user> (import 'java.lang.String)
java.lang.String

But everything in java.lang is already imported and available by default, so you shouldn’t need to do this.
