Does anyone know how to use with with lein?

View on HN

It looks like drip does not automatically work with lein:

https://github.com/flatland/drip/issues/36

Here's my workaround to use drip to start up lein repls instantly:

https://gist.github.com/4103370

Should work with lein1 & lein2.

Using lein2, you can run the following:

  $ JAVA_CMD=drip lein ...

Still using lein1 :(

What does this do exactly? Will it permanently change lein to use drip? Or only temporarily for whichever command replaced the "...". Also, do you know if the advice here: https://github.com/flatland/drip/wiki/Clojure works with lein2?

That command runs drip only for that particular invocation of the command. You can put the following:

    export JAVA_CMD=drip

into your ~/.profile (etc) file to have it affect all future Java launches from leiningen.
