Rewriting Java code in Clojure and compiling it

[Hussein Baghdadi]

Hi,
I use Clojure to write a couple of scripts and hacks but what if you want to use it to substitute my Java code (like Spring beans, beans in general, Servlets)?
http://clojure.org/compilation
Any special points I should pay attention to?
Clojure provides compilation facility, for example:

(compile 'clojure.examples.hello)

Any idea how integrate this facility into Ant or Maven?
Thanks.

Have you taken a look at Leiningen? It's a build tool for Clojure that's very easy to use and wraps up Maven under the hood (I'm not sure of the exact details - I'm an ant guy, not a Maven guy). Specific things Leiningen can do include running tests, compiling Clojure code, packaging it into a JAR file and so on.

Leiningen is a solid recommendation. For a more purely maven approach, see https://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin
