@devn Sorry about the problems, prior to IntelliJ 2016.1, JDK6 was the recommended JDK to run IntelliJ itself due to bad Swing bugs (Oracle’s fault, not JetBrains’).

Looks like my doc is out of date, I’ll update that.

If you’re using the community edition, you probably want the most recent version - there’s generally no reason to use an older version.

Sorry for the delay, BTW - I’m travelling

So reading through all that, it sounds like there’s some confusion based on an old IntelliJ version, and it seems like your project didn’t import properly for some reason.

I think most of the issues would be resolved using the latest IntelliJ, which uses JDK8 out of the box.

To fix the project import problem, it looks like you just need to right click on your project.clj, and click Add as Leiningen project (IIRC, I don’t have the code open here).

That should re-import the project, and then you’ll be able to set up your run config.

Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
