The problem with such a scheme is inclusion of multiple versions of the same library. This can result in obscure 'unresolved compilation' errors cropping up when you try to use a method or class that doesn't exist in whichever library the JVM happened to choose. Does the jvm do any expensive initialisation for each jar? Or does it not > make a difference until I explicitly import a jar in my clojure code? > I don't think it would make a difference. Static initialisation etc. doesn't happen until a class is explicitly loaded. Regards, Stuart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
