Creating a new Counterclockwise project

Now that we've tried out Leiningen, we are ready to build our first project in Eclipse IDE using the Counterclockwise plugin:

1. In Eclipse IDE, right-click on an empty spot in Package Explorer and choose New | Other....
2. The Select a wizard dialog appears. Choose Clojure | Clojure Project and click on Next.
3. Choose the exploring-monads project name. Make sure the default Leiningen template is selected:

4. Click on Finish to generate the project.

Note

Note that you can choose any other template supported by Leiningen here. There's one caveat: Counterclockwise's built-in Leiningen version is used to generate projects, and this version can be out of date. As we will see later in this chapter, this can be resolved by creating a project on the command-line.

The creation process of the project will take some time. When finished, take a look at the created project by expanding it in Package Explorer. Its directory structure should look familiar.

Open the src/exploring_monads...
