What benefit does this have aside from a tiny saving in disk space? The way it currently works has a number of benefits: * really simple and easy to understand! * you can tarball your project directory, rsync it another machine or whatever and everything you need will be right there. No need to worry about redownloading anything or copying your local maven cache around. * you can run stuff manually just with: java -cp 'src:classes:lib/*' clojure.main * really simple and easy to understand! (worth repeating) Doing tricks with symlinks or having lein set your classpath magically like Maven does just seems to be adding complexity for the sake of complexity.
