If you tell me what you think should happen instead I will make a patch.</p> <p>stu said: Updating tickets (#389, #371)</p> <p>cemerick said: AFAICT, this also affects protocol definitions, where the associated interface classfile is available on the classpath.</p> <p>You said you'd make a patch if Rich said it needed on. Your move.</p> <p>This behavior is to be expected, given Java's class loaders. If you want static classes, compile them onto your classpath. If you want reloadable classes, load them at runtime (preferable) from source.</p> <p>The real place to fix this problem is in build tools and IDEs. When you are developing interactively, these tools <b>should</b> default to non-compilation of Clojure files. The Clojure/core team will fix this in a future version of the Clojure maven build tools.</p> <p>Re-opening - we closed this thinking it would be handled via tooling. It seems we should fix this though.</p> <p>I don't know of any appropriate action to take, other than to change tools.</p> <p>no, really, declined</p> Approval Vetted Global Rank
