Hi, I experience one problem too with leining 2.5.0 (not sure if it happened before already). The upgrade to leiningen 2.5.0 from 2.4.x was broken. The same happened yesterday when I tried to install leiningen in a new environment on windows 7. Not sure what the exact output of leiningen during installation is, however, when it's done I open a cmd line and type: "lein repl". This fails with an error message and a suggestion I should do "lein self-install". This will fail too as I have wget missing on my system. After installing wget and putting it into the path "lein self-install" can finish it's job and everything works again.
After developing for almost one year now in my spare time on windows 7 with clojure this was the only broken thing I experienced. I tried pedestal once and think that it does not support windows explicitly, however, for the few days I played around with it I did not see any windows specific errors. So rest assured, you will have a good time developing on windows. In the end it just becomes bytecode that runs on a lot of platforms. Aside from that, did you set the JAVA_HOME variable for your user? You have JDK 7 or 8 installed, IIRC JDK 6 is not supported anymore. Best Regards, Sven Am Samstag, 25.
