cljsbuild-example-simple didnt run with lein 2.9.5 and Java version > 11 & 15

[Mohanavadivel-git]

I m newbie tried to run the cljsbuild-example-simple, I didn't work like a charm, but i have to spend an hour to figure out the issue and it will be good that the examples to be mentioned with prerequisites:

Here is the problem i faced(in windows):

• Choclately install leiningen(2.9.5 got installed)
• I already had JDK 11
• Cloned repo lein-cljsbuild
• example projects didn't work with java11 and got below error:
  • Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter, compiling:(cljs/util.cljc:1:1)
• Then I downgraded my java version to java 8+lein 2.9.5 and got the below error
  • clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException: Syntax error macroexpanding clojure.core/fn at (clojure/core/unify.clj:83:18).

    :clojure.error{:phase :macro-syntax-check, :line 83, :column 18, :source "clojure/core/unify.clj", :symbol clojure.core/fn}

• Finally I downgraded my lein to 2.8.3 (now the state is lein2.8.3+java8), It worked

Please check if this can be resolved, so that newbies are benefitted.

Thanks, Mohan
