clojure-contrib.jar file

[octopusgrabbus]

1) I cloned clojure-contrib from github.

git clone git://github.com/richhickey/clojure-contrib.git

Completed successfully.

2) Then, I installed maven and in the clojure-contrib sub-directory
entered this command
mvn package.

Completed without errors.

3) When I look for clojure-contrib.jar in the target directory, it's
not there. The library files are under target.

Here is the top of the target directory listing:

target
target/classes
target/classes/clojure
target/classes/clojure/contrib

The only newly created jar file I can find is in the newly created .m2
directory under my home directory:
~/.m2/repository/com/theoryinpractise/clojure-maven-plugin/1.3.2/
clojure-maven-plugin-1.3.2.jar

Is this the clojure-contrib.jar file? If not what is the command to
package up the individual .clj files that were unpacked?

Many thanks.

I've never built contrib from source, but I believe the repository you'll want to clone from is this one:

git://github.com/clojure/clojure-contrib.git

Thanks.

I went to http://clojure.org/downloads and downloaded both the latest
stable Clojure and its contrib.

contrib built just fine and gave me the jar file I was looking for.

The monolithic contrib library has been deprecated (and I'm not sure
you'll get it to build).

If you're on Clojure 1.2.x, just download the 1.2.0 contrib from
http://clojure.org/downloads

If you're on Clojure 1.3.0 (either an alpha or a snapshot), you'll
either want the last monolithic build: 1.3.0-alpha4 (I *think* the id
is org.clojure.contrib/standalone?). Or you'll want to start using the
new modular contrib libraries:

http://corfield.org/clj/index.cfm).

Yes, the last monolithic contrib build was 1.3.0-alpha4. It builds with Clojure 1.3.0-alpha4, but not the later alphas.

There are 2 "combined" jars in contrib 1.3.0-alpha4.  The "standalone" module contains all the classes/sources merged into a single JAR file.  The "complete" module contains nothing itself, but depends on all the other modules.  Sorry about the vague names.

New contrib library sources can be found at github.com/clojure and release JARs in Maven repositories:

Thanks. These are the links I've used, and it's worked just fine on
two systems now. I probably got the deprecated version.
