Is there any way to do global exclusions of transitive deps without endlessly restating them per dep?

I have a java library I'm working on and a separate Clojure project that depends on it. Is there way to recompile the java and use it from the the clojure project's repl without restarting the repl? I'm fine with putting its class output path in my clojure project's :paths even though I know that's deprecated/not a good idea, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to "refresh" the classpath?
