Help with Emacs+Slime+Clojure config

[Robert Campbell]

Hey guys,

I'm completely new to Emacs. I've started using it because it appears
to be the best environment for developing in Clojure. To get started,
I downloaded Clojure Box - http://clojure.bighugh.com/ - which is
exactly like LispBox, but obviously for Clojure. It prewires Emacs,
Slime, Swank-Clojure, Clojure-Mode, nice launcher for Windows, etc.

My problem is with adding libraries (Jars) to my classpath. I created
my .emacs file:

(setq swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
	'())	
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
          "E:/Program Files/Clojure Box/compojure/compojure.jar")
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
          "E:/Program Files/Clojure Box/lib/postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc4.jar")
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
          "E:/Program Files/Clojure Box/lib/servlet-api-2.5-20081211.jar")
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
          "E:/Program Files/Clojure Box/lib/jetty-6.1.16.jar")
(add-to-list 'swank-clojure-extra-classpaths
          "E:/Program Files/Clojure Box/lib/jetty-util-6.1.16.jar")

The problem is that the Compojure library doesn't appear to be added
to my classpath correctly; I get a "ClassNotFoundException"

On the flip side, I am perfectly able to use my PostgreSQL driver with
the clojure-contrib/sql library.

So, does anybody have any ideas why the PostgreSQL jar would be added
to the classpath correctly, but not Compojure? To check for typos I
copy/pasted the actual string into Windows Explorer and it resolved to
the jar properly. If there's no obvious mistakes, how would I begin to
troubleshoot this?

I appologize if this shouldn't be asked in the Emacs forum, but it
isn't really a Clojure issue since it deals with booting up the JVM
with the proper classpath.

Thank you,

Rob

It's kind of an old question, but for the sake of the next people
stumbling on this page:

(add-classpath "file:///c:\\clojure\\")  -  it's a clojure thing so
works everywhere, including in emacs.
(System/getProperty "java.class.path") - very good for debugging.
