Maven works, but if you don't want XML why not just use Leiningen?
Split your code base into various modules (each module having its own
project.clj) and have a shell script (or PowerShell script if you're
on Windows) to take care of the dependencies while building across
modules.
For example, take this use-case of modules A, B, C and D:
A --> B --> C
`-> D
(A depends on B and D, B depends on C)
Write a shell script:
--------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env bash
p_home=`dirname $0`
function mod {
cd $p_home/modules/$1 # arg is module dir
lein deps && lein jar && lein install
}
# To build A (all)
mod "C" && mod "B" && mod "D" && mod "A"
--------------------------------
If AOT gives you trouble, factor those source files out into a
dependency module and so on. IMHO this approach gives much more
flexibility than any constrained multi-module feature of a build tool.
