What's the best way to manage dependencies with CounterClockwise/Eclipse?

I have a dependency on clj-record in my Count开发者_如何学运维erClockwise project. What's the best way to manage this? Copy the source code or compile to a JAR and add it as a referenced library?

There are tools to help you:

• http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen <- project based
• http://github.com/liebke/cljr <- dependencies not project based
• http://github.com/ninjudd/cake <- alternative build tool

Assuming your dependencies are available in a Maven repo (like central or clojars), you have a couple of options.

First, if you're using Leiningen, there is an eclipse plugin for it now that will manage project dependencies for you, based on the dependencies you define in your project.clj file. The plugin is in beta now, but has been working great for me so far. (Note that it uses Leiningen 2.0 under the covers, though that detail won't matter for many (most?) simple cases.)

If you're using Maven, the m2eclipse plugin makes it so that the dependencies you declare in your Maven pom.xml are automatically added to your eclipse project's build path, and are therefore available in CCW REPLs and such.

there seems to be no pattern for specifying dependencies apart from hacking the code into your project or building a jar externally.

Of course you can, just as with any java project. While dependency resolution isn't tied into eclipse (yet), once you retrieve the deps (via one of the command line tools nickik listed), you can specify which jars are to be included in the java build path of your eclipse project:

1. Retrieve the deps via cake, leiningen, etc.
2. Refresh the eclipse project so you see the deps (usually in the lib directory)
3. Highlight the jars you want eclipse to know about
4. Right-click, select Build Path > Add to Build Path

That's it. You can fiddle with the build path by going to the Java Build Path section of the project's properties window.
