I installed enclojure as per the website's instructions, but when the IDE is started afterword, the splash screen shows some messages, and then disappears. Netbeans' main screen doesn't appear. The process is not killed (if started from the command line, it never exits, except through ctrl-c or similar).

The process doesn't seem to have any activity. Removing extra/modules/org-enclojure-plugin.jar makes netbeans start up normally afterwards.

Forgot details: Netbeans 7.0 on Debian Testing, Intel Core i5.

I don't recommend using this software. Download Intellij & Install La Clojure.

Enclojure has some outstanding bugs which prevent use at this point in time.

Isn't that a bit of a  FUD ? 

It seems to me that there are some compatibility problems with new releases of netbeans, but it's certainly more due to some bad habit of netbeans to introduce breaking changes, IMHO.
Because for e.g. ccw on Eclipse, I did not take any particularly "drastic" cautions and I have the compatibility from version to version (currently 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 work with ccw flawlessly).

So if you want to use Netbeans and Enclojure, fine, stick with the recommended version of netbeans in the enclojure website, that's all.

Cheers,

Yes, but, there's no recommended version of netbeans on the enclojure website. (At least the last time I checked.)

OK, maybe I do have some FUD about enclojure, but, I have limited amounts of time to experiment with these kinds of things. (Even though i really want to.)

If a piece of software is going to take 4 hours to make it work, then, I can't really make that investment. (I estimate that from where I started with enclojure and my lack of knowledge about netbeans/clojure.)

Your only single experience hardly makes to my eyes a viable statistic for being confident saying things like 

"I don't recommend using this software. Download Intellij & Install La Clojure.

Enclojure has some outstanding bugs which prevent use at this point in time."

Well, it doesn't work.

I wasted a bunch of time on enclojure and other solutions for editing clojure and that bugged me a lot. I hate it when people market a piece of software on the internet that doesn't work.

Hello, I am entering the beautiful world of Clojure.
I like Netbeans. I could start the version 7 with Enclojure installed.
I just dont know how to create/specify the "main" class so I can really teste something.
Which would be the simplest way to do that in Netbeans?

Thanks

That's the problem. There's no easy way to specify a main class without digging into a bunch of maven files.

Hum, ok.
I know Enclojure is one thing and Clojure is other.
But I am still deciding wich JVM language to use,
and the IDE usability is important.
Anybody here used Yeti?
I'd like to listen some [bad?] experience about it.
It seems too young to be good as Clojure.

You can satisfy the ide by manually entering "clojure.main" in the
main class field. Clicking run then starts a non-project-specific
repl- which works but is not as nice as the project-specific repl,
which has syntax highlighting and other features.

FYIW, we are writing production web apps and server side applications
all in Clojure for several projects. There about 10 developers in my
shop and we all pick the poison of choice. There are emacs users, NB/
enclojure users and Eclipse/ccw users. We use maven for the builds
and git for our scm so that is the comment ground and there is no
issue with opening and working on the projects within each of these
environments. None of them are perfect and they each have their
strong points.
I know that may not answer your question with regards to tools but
Clojure as a platform has been a productive and fun platform for us to
deliver apps and experiment with new technologies in our shop.

Eric
