For anyone interested, the approach I ended up taking was to AOT everything all the time. But, require the class namespaces to be explicitly defined in the build config file for any which needs to be included in the Jar. And when packaging the Jar, only the Clojure source and the AOT class files of the namespaces that were explicitly listed are included.
I do that by compiling every source files, and then deleting all .class files except for the ones that match the explicitly listed namespaces. If no namespace are listed, then the resulting Jar is thus similar to a non AOT build, and only includes source. The advantages are that the AOT compilation bubbles compile issues early at build time. And the resulting Jars do not include transitive classes that could cause version conflicts. And when you need gen-class, you can include only the gen-class .class in the Jar, not even have its containing namespace. Minimizing the blast radius of AOT. And if you face the protocol issue, you can specify these namespaces as well to ne included in the Jar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
