Getting the JVM installed requires very little effort. On ubuntu linux, for example, apt-get can be used to install openjdk or Oracle's distribution. Travis CI provides java (with a choice of JDKs) in its testing environments.
So, I understand your point, but the installation "overhead" seems more like a mole hill, hardly amounting to even a speed-bump sized obstacle.
- jkrems 13y agoI recently had write up for a README how to install the JDK and set it up correctly on OSX. You'd be surprised. Thanks to Oracle's policies it isn't even close to where other runtimes/sdks are (e.g. installing ruby, node, gcc, go, ocaml).
- michaelsbradley 13y agoWith homebrew and homebrew-cask installed on Mac OS 10.9, I was simply able to do: brew cask install java That might not cover the bases for every Java developer's needs, but leiningen seems to work fine with the resulting installation.
- jkrems 13y agoI'll have to look into versions (gotta be java7) but that looks pretty great - thanks!
