Another tool that works well for polyglot JVM projects is Gradle. I use it to build Cursive, which has Java, Kotlin and AOT'ed Clojure. I released a mostly-unsupported plugin for it, and Andrew Oberstar and others have taken it over and done a lot of work on it - it now lives at https://github.com/gradle-clojure. It's pretty new but is under active development.
Gradle works very well for Cursive, I'm very happy with it. On 29 January 2018 at 20:07, Nathan Fisher <nfis...@junctionbox.ca> wrote: > Hi Kiril, > > I think you’d need to set your expectations.
