How to open existing Clojure project in Eclipse?

Question

Ive tried to do it usual way File -> Import -> General -> Existing project (as for java projects) BUT eclipse dont see clojure projects and cannot open it :( do you have any idea why ?

Answer 1

1. Install Counterclockwise plugin in Eclipse (from eclipse marketplace). This brings clojure and leiningen support to eclipse.

2. Add lein2-eclipse plugin to your project.clj :

   :plugins [[lein2-eclipse "2.0.0"]]

3. Run following command inside the project directory :

   lein eclipse

This generates necessary project files.

4. Import the project into eclipse ( File -> Import -> General -> Existing project ).

5. Right click on the project in eclipse then "Configure > Convert to leiningen project"
