Any way to use aliases defined in a library that is in your :deps?

FYI :aliases, :resolve-aliases and :classpath-aliases are implemented on 0.4.x branch of lein-tools-deps… just need to kick the tyres a bit and add some documentation before merging to master

Is there any way to compile or refer to Java files with deps.edn, or do I have to do that in a separate project?

@hypirion Separate

Okay, I guess that is by design? It's a bit iffy if I just want to improve the performance of a component in the system by converting it to Java.

in scope: a) make classpaths and b) launch Clojure programs

there are a vast array of other “build” activities you may wish to do

I have thought about writing something which scans for .java rules in directories on the classpath and builds them.

well there are about 10 programs that do that already

There are?

Sure, Ant, Maven, Leiningen, Boot, Ivy, Grape,

and on and on

Sure. They're a bit different. By default they don't expect to compile dependencies, eg local and root dependencies

some yes, some no

you can easily coax Ant or Ivy into this
