I've found "cider" for emacs to be a really good clojure IDE and repl. The workflow is a bit different from Java - I find that I am looking up documentation within my editor more often (which explains the arguments and return values), and then trying out little snippets locally using the extremely powerful repl. You slowly build up your program from smaller programs that you have tested to work, so by the time you run the whole thing, you only have a couple typos/issues.

I think the other key to working with clojure is to set up your program as a set of transforms on simple data structures as much as possible such that complex class interactions aren't used much, and that cuts down on the need for great intellisense and static typing. Ymmv, of course, but I've found this way of working more productive than when I was working in Java.
