Clojure: how to explicitly choose JVM in the environment with Leiningen/Lighttable


In my Windows 7 (64 bits) environment, I have quite a few JVM available:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\bin\client\jvm.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll
D:\programs\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
D:\programs\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll

Currently, with Lighttable/Leiningen (I don't know which makes the choice, and how), it uses

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\bin\client\jvm.dll

But I really would like to try

D:\programs\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

It's even more puzzling that when I type

java -version

I got the following:

D:\yushen>java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

It seems that's what I want to have inside Lighttable/Leinengen.

Could you show me how to make the explicit choice/configuration?

I tried Google, but couldn't find some leads.

Thanks a lot!


Solution

  • Finally, I found this link: http://leiningen-win-installer.djpowell.net/

    After running the installer, it has the function to re-configure leiningen, using it, I was able to configure my old leiningen to use my desired JDK: D:\programs\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\java.exe, then the JVM instance in leiningen/lighttable is the desired one now.

    The moral of the story: leiningen needs to be reconfigured with newly installed JDK with the configuration functionality of leiningen-win-installer.

    It might be possible to configure leiningen manually, but I hadn't found a way to do yet. I tried to manually configure through my project.clj with java-command option, it didn't work.
