When copying a build.boot file from an old project to a new one I got the following error and found nothing on Google:
Classpath conflict: org.clojure/clojure version 1.7.0 already loaded, NOT loading version 1.8.0
You should just include [org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"] with the same version as boot environment variable BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.8.0
into build.boot dependencies list.
Another way to get rid of this issues is to exclude clojure dependency from several dependencies in the list.
boot show -d
Will show your list of dependencies,
Classpath conflict: org.clojure/clojure version 1.8.0 already loaded, NOT loading version 1.7.0

As you can see here is:
[pandeiro/boot-http "0.8.3"]
└─[org.clojure/clojure "1.7.0"]
dependency, which boot is complaining on. So, what I did to get rid of this dependency is to make exclusion in build.boot like here:
[pandeiro/boot-http "0.8.3" :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure]]
so pandeiro/boot-http does not depend on old clojure version anymore and boot compain dissapeared.
