Java and Clojure with Leiningen

Question

Is it possible to easily manage and compile native Java classes alongside Clojure in a project using leiningen?

I am working at a pretty low level (with netty nio)

Answer 1

In Leiningen tutorial there is following statement

For projects that include some Java code, you can set the :java-source-path key in project.clj to a directory containing Java files. Then the javac compiler will run before your Clojure code is AOT-compiled, or you can run it manually with the javac task.

so it should work out of box if :java-source-paths option is set

Answer 2

As of Leiningen 2.x, :java-source-path has been replaced with :java-source-paths, whose value is now specified as a vector rather than a string.

A good place to find a full (up-to-date) documentation of Leiningen features is to peruse the sample project file. In this case, you will see:

:java-source-paths ["src/main/java"]

Answer 3

Use Vinyasa - I wrote it especially to deal with this problem
