Clojure Box

I am no longer maintaining Clojure Box. I'll leave the exiting builds up as long as I keep my hosting alive. Anyone interested in making future builds can check out the Bitbucket source and have at it. Thanks for all the downloads. –Shawn

Clojure Box is an all-in-one installer for Clojure on Windows. It's inspired by the Lispbox: you simply install and run this one thing, and you get a REPL and all the syntax highlighting and editing goodies from clojure-mode and Slime, plus all the power of Emacs under the hood.

Requirements

All you need is Java 1.5 or later. If Clojure Box can find java.exe on your system (usually it's in c:\windows\system32), it provides the rest.

Release notes

Instructions

  1. Install.
  2. Launch.
  3. Hack in the REPL!

When you're ready to learn Emacs, start with the tutorial (C-h t). To start saving code in files and projects, read Clojure Box's README and post-install notes (the installer creates shortcuts for these).

M-x swank-clojure-project is your friend for restarting the REPL with a custom classpath including src, classes, and lib/*.jar from a project directory. This works with Maven-style layouts, too. By the way, Clojure Box is based on swank-clojure, so most tricks there apply.

Components

Clojure Box consists of these components:

Thanks to all the developers of these excellent packages!
