Summary

Leiningen is for automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire.

Description

Leiningen is for automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire.

It offers various project-related tasks and can:

• create new projects
• fetch dependencies for your project
• run tests
• run a fully-configured REPL
• compile Java sources (if any)
• run the project (if the project isn’t a library)
• generate a maven-style “pom” file for the project for interop
• compile and package projects for deployment
• publish libraries to repositories such as Clojars
• run custom automation tasks written in Clojure (leiningen plug-ins)

If you come from the Java world, Leiningen could be thought of as "Maven meets Ant without the pain". For Ruby and Python folks, Leiningen combines RubyGems/Bundler/Rake and pip/Fabric in a single tool.
