To avoid order-of-compilation issues,
this patch puts the gen-class expressions
for ColumnWriter and PrettyWriter in a
separate file, rather than in the ns
declarations.

Branch: master

stuart.sierra said: (In revision:aa34fb9e52fa500c99bb45448bdfcd4020db5392) Reenable compiling of test namespaces in POM; refs #65

But disable tests of pprint, which fail currently

Branch: master

stuart.sierra said: I think I have fixed this by placing the gen-class directives in a separate file; only that file will be AOT-compiled.

tomfaulhaber said: What a mess! This seems like a big problem with gen-class if we have to jump through this many hoops to make it work once we have more than one class in a hierarchy.

Of course it worked fine back in ant-land where we had control over the compilation order.

stuart.sierra said: It's not that bad. The Ant build script was messier. This is more flexible, because it only AOT-compiles things that need it, i.e. gen-class.

cemerick said: I mentioned this elsewhere, but perhaps there's a reason why this isn't workable in this case: I believe if you require clojure.contrib.pprint.ColumnWriter in PrettyWriter's ns declaration (perhaps before the :gen-class form?), then the compiler will visit and gen CW before attempting to gen-class PW.

This would eliminate the need to explicitly specify which namespaces to compile.

stuart.sierra said: Tried it. Didn't work.
