Anyone on Windows able to build the clojure-contrib.jar? I keep getting errors and it appears I'm not the only one: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/a09f356be405ca1e/9a4f210da4e9d0bc?show_docid=9a4f210da4e9d0bc http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/... I wonder where I can get an RC1 build of the contrib jar. If it's a jar file, I wonder why you're supposed to build it yourself using mvn. Edit: Don't have to build it. It's included in the zip file on the download page. The new clojure-contrib-1-2.0.jar is just significantly smaller than the version 1.1 and older. Edit2: It appears you can indeed build on Windows if you skip the maven tests: mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true Whether skipping maven tests is a good/bad thing I don't know.

Make sure you are getting the right repository. Once github began supporting organizations, we moved things to github.com/clojure (not github.com/richhickey). You can get RC1 at the top of the download page (http://clojure.org/downloads http://clojure.org/downloads). We would love to fix usability problems--let us know what got in your way of finding it.

  I'm very new to Clojure (just 1-2 weeks) so pardon my ignorance/mistake. I noticed that the new clojure-contrib.jar was 466KB while the older ones were over 3MB. So I thought it was either a template or a sample file and tried to compile it myself on Windows. I got errors similar to the link in my parent post. But now I just extracted the file and it works. So what happened that shrunk the contrib-jar that much in this version?

    A lot of contrib stuff has matured and is now in the core.

    Much functionality was moved from clojure-contrib into new namespaces in clojure itself; clojure.jar is now bigger by roughly the same amount that clojure-contrib.jar shrank :)
