<div class="markdown_content"><p>I was hoping to use Clojure to develop SWT applications on the Mac.</p> <p>On the Mac, the SWT Display has to be created on the first thread, and in the Mac version of Java this can be forced using the "-XstartOnFirstThread" command line option.</p> <p>Unfortunately, running...<br /> java -XstartOnFirstThread -cp clojure.jar clojure.lang.Repl<br /> ... seems to simply return to the command prompt.</p> <p>Note that running...<br /> java -cp clojure.jar clojure.lang.Repl<br /> ... does start a REPL as expected.</p> <p>(I have been able to use SISC to develop SWT applications, by adding -XstartOnFirstThread. It's not clear why this fails in Clojure.)</p></div>
