How is it possible to run the doc-command in a CounterClockwise-REPL in Eclipse?

Is it somehow possible to start the documentation within the REPL in Eclipse (I'm using the CounterClockwise-Plugin). I tried e.g.

(clojure.repl/doc doc)

but this throws:

ClassNotFoundException clojure.repl  java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run (URLClassLoader.java:366)

When I start a REPL from the terminal (e.g. using clojure or lein repl), this works fine. I already used the full-qualified name, so I really don't get why this is not working.

Solution

  • The clojure.repl namespace comes with Clojure, but is not always in scope.

    To get equivalent behavior to a normal repl you can execute the following:

     (use 'clojure.repl)

    Or, more consertatively:

     (require '[clojure.repl :as repl])
