[CLJ-968] ns emitting gen-class before imports results in imported annotations being discarded.

Mon, 9 Apr 2012 15:38:07 -0500

The following discards the imported annotations:

(ns com.example.BaseXModuleTest
  (:import (org.basex.query QueryModule QueryModule$Deterministic))
  (:gen-class
     :extends org.basex.query.QueryModule
     :methods [
       [^{QueryModule$Deterministic {}}
        addOne [int] int]]))

However, when moving the gen-class call out of the ns declaration, the annotation is correctly applied:

(ns com.example.BaseXModuleTest
  (:import (org.basex.query QueryModule QueryModule$Deterministic)))

(gen-class
  :extends org.basex.query.QueryModule
  :name com.example.BaseXModuleTest
  :methods [
    [^{QueryModule$Deterministic {}}
     addOne [int] int]])

It appears that imported names are not yet in-scope when gen-class is run from a ns declaration.
