My background in Lisp if for several years now, just for fun, and using
Common Lisp, mainly.
I have some programs in Java, and would like to use Clojure to

Is it easy to test/load Java
In general, no -- in a typical project setup, any changes to Java code

There are plenty of ways to avoid this, but currently, they're only
used in the major IDEs when debugging (e.g. while debugging an
application, you can usually
Thank you for your response. I'm actually using BeanShell for doing
most of this stuff, as it provides reloadClasses(), wich allows a very
fast reloading of every change (anyway, changes in code which is
actually in use are not propagated, but this is an expected issue).
I'll have a glance to the
One more question: is there a way to call a function similar to
reloadClasses in Clojure? If so, it would be my solution.
Yep, I work with a multi-tab console with a rlwrap repl window and
another window for builds (ant) and other general stuff, then I use
the clojure load function to reload
