Just install "lein" and then in any project run "lein deps" to use maven to pull in all dependencies, including the version of Clojure that you have in your project.clj file.

Clojure is really a simple language to use, which is one reason why I like it a lot (and use it for most of my projects). Compared to Scala and Haskell, Clojure is fast to learn. Java interop with Clojure is also really simple. I often use existing Java code by including it in my Clojure project and adding the magic Java build stuff to my project.clj file. Some purists might like to have just Clojure in their projects, but being able to pull in my old Java code (and other open source libraries) as needed is a large time saver. If Java libraries are small, I like to have them in my project. I use IntelliJ for both Clojure and Java development and having all the code in one place is often nicer than pulling in JAR dependencies.
