• swank-clojure-extra

swank-clojure-extra provides some extra utilities for using slime [1] with swank-clojure [2]. The extras provided by this package includes

• swank-clojure-project: a way to open swank-clojure on a specific project. This is very useful as java does not provide a way to modify classpath at runtime.
• manual configuration of swank/slime.
• start a Leiningen swank server (and connect) from within Emacs: swank-clojure-lein-swank
• more to come..

This project is an offshoot of swank-clojure and was created as an attempt to separate emacs specific utilities which got added over a period of time into swank-clojure.el into a separate project. The rationale behind this split is explained in this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/swank-clojure/browse_thread/thread/e6656cc66c5ac15f

• Usage

In your ~/.emacs file, add the swank-clojure-extra into your load-path and load it.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/swank-clojure-extra") (require 'swank-clojure-extra)

** Customization

swank-clojure-extra provides the a few variables which can be customized from your emacs configuration files.

Here is what I have in my ~/.emacs file:

(setq swank-clojure-classpath (append (list "/usr/share/java/clojure.jar" "~/src/swank-clojure/src" "~/.clojure") (directory-files "/usr/share/java/" t ".jar$")))

(eval-after-load "slime" '(progn (require 'swank-clojure-extra) (add-to-list 'slime-lisp-implementations `(clojure ,(swank-clojure-cmd) :init swank-clojure-init) t) (add-hook 'slime-indentation-update-hooks 'swank-clojure-update-indentation) (add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook 'swank-clojure-slime-repl-modify-syntax t) (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'swank-clojure-slime-mode-hook t)))
