Eclipse Counterclockwise comes bundled with its own internal copy of leiningen, and completely manages it for you. You do not need to manually install leiningen or understand anything about it other than how to add dependencies to your project.clj file. I personally think that Eclipse's ultra-simple install (just unzip it) is refreshing relative to the complexity of other Windows install programs which create a lot of junk on my desktop, start menu, and registry. Once Eclipse is unzipped, the installation of counterclockwise plugin is one step and pretty clearly documented, in my opinion. I definitely think this is the easiest way to get up and running with Clojure on windows. I can see how the counterclockwise site would benefit from a more unambiguous endorsement of a specific version of Eclipse, for users who aren't already using it and are downloading it for the first time. There are a lot of choices at the Eclipse site. Also, I understand there a few confusing aspects of getting started once everything is installed: starting a project (leiningen project vs clojure project), creating a file to code in (doesn't automatically do user-friendly things like add the .clj extension to new files created in the project nor add a default namespace declaration at the top of the file), and starting the REPL (there are a few different ways to start a REPL and it is not obvious what, if any, the differences are). -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
