Need help getting lein repl started

[Jim_Newton]

I’m trying to start the lien repl. I’ve just installed the jdk onto my mac running catalina.
Here’s what I see. Do I need to install an earlier java? Or what might be the problem?

[geminiani:~/Repos/clojure-rte] jimka% lein repl
lein repl
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Options -Xverify:none and -noverify were deprecated in JDK 13 and will likely be removed in a future release.

This could be due to a typo in :dependencies, file system permissions, or network issues.
If you are behind a proxy, try setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable.

Looks like you have something in your :dependencies that shouldn’t be. Maybe something with @?

[Jim_Newton]

where are my dependencies located/found? Remember, I’m just getting started. I’m trying to get it up and running for the first time.

See ~/Repos/clojure-rte/project.clj

That file is exactly what lein created except that I changed the license for checking it into git.

[Jim_Newton]

I also have a profiles.clj file in ~/.lein/ its contents are those described here.

{:user {:plugins [[lein-license "0.1.8"] @clojars.org
                  ]}}

[thheller]

And there is your problem. The @clojars.org is not valid and breaks things.

FWIW the @clojars.org is turned into (clojure.core/deref clojars.org) by the reader so thats where that weird Could not find artifact clojure.core:deref:jar:clojars.org ... error comes from.

[Jim_Newton]

So are you saying that the documentation for https://github.com/xsc/lein-license is wrong?

[thheller]

No, you just intepreted the @clojars.org in the image as being part of the dependency declaration, which it is not. It is just telling you that it is hosted on clojars.org. You just need [lein-license "0.1.8"], lein will find it there on its own.
