That is an interesting oversight, but it properly steams from the notion that most people would get involved with Clojure as a way to escape from Java. Anyway Sun has some not to horrible articles that explains Java and you might be able to find information there. In addition, the stackoverflow.com is a great way to ask these kinds of questions since they have a lot of former and current Java developers.
