Create importable `bltool-sources.jar` #26

Open Stevoisiak opened 7 years ago

When importing bltool.jar into Eclipse, there's no available source attachment that can be used for code debugging. This along with the lack of an available JavaDoc makes knowing the callable functions for bltool confusing.

I've never used Eclipse, but all of the source code is in the jar:

$ unzip -l bltool-0.2.2-standalone.jar | grep bltool | grep clj

Does Eclipse need some sort of additional plugins for Clojure code or something? Or do I need to add something to META-INF so that it can find the source?

I'm not exactly sure how source attachments would would work for Clojure projects, as I'm more familiar with Java libraries.

I'm personally looking to use bltool for a game tracking program built in Java. Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with Clojure, and haven't been able to figure out how to properly call bltool's functions from a Java application.

I've never really worked on calling Clojure from Java, but this section of the Clojure/Java Interop manual may be helpful -- it looks like you can just load the jar, then get an IFn representing a clojure function and call it from Java.

It's possible to make a Clojure library expose more "java-like" interfaces with normal Java classes and suchlike, but this requires extra work on the Clojure side and it's something I haven't done with bltool.
