I was trying to mvn install org.clojure/clojure repo today for 1.9.0 and keep getting:

I’ve tried with jdk 7, 8, 11 on mac - 7 & 8 get above, 11 has different issues

any reason ? do I have to try jdk 6?

wondering if this is a known thing

did you mess with the version number

yes

well there you go

I didn’t want to replace “real one”

but can’t change version so easily huh

I had like 1.9.0-mine

you can, but has to match the pattern

I see

I often just use 1.11.0-master-SNAPSHOT when I'm doing local installs

(or whatever snapshot version makes sense)

not using a "real" release number makes it far less likely I'll overlap something that actually gets released (and snapshots will get replaced by real snapshots eventually)

yes, that makes sense

thanks for input - I should have indeed read compiling:(clojure/core.clj:6973:1) this line too to realize it was version number issue

if you want a faster build, mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true can help

thanks - yeah, I wanted to skip tests as well for my purposes
