Clojure

Reported by m...@kotka.de, Jan 10, 2009
What (small set of) steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to compile the following namespace definition:

(ns foo.Bar
  (:gen-class
     :methods [[toString [Object] String]]))

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect this to compile normally, but the following exception is thrown:

1:1 user=> (binding [*compile-path* "tmp"] (compile 'foo.Bar))
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No matching field found: 
getSimpleName for class clojure.lang.Symbol (Bar.clj:1)

What version are you using?

SVN rev. 1195
