I'm trying to include exiftool for java in a leiningen based clojure project. This library is not available at central, so I have included a :repository tag in my project.clj file.
project.clj:
(defproject clojure-mongo "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:description "FIXME: write description"
:url "http://example.com/FIXME"
:license {:name "Eclipse Public License"
:url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"}
:repositories {"The Buzz Media Maven Repository" "http://maven.thebuzzmedia.com"}
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.7.0"]
[com.novemberain/monger "3.0.1"]
[com.thebuzzmedia/exiftool-lib "1.1"]])
exiftool for java does not provide a checksum and the site warns of this:
"NOTE: At this time we are not providing checksums for the files on our repository, so you will see '[WARNING] Checksum validation failed' messages from Maven, but they can be safely ignored."
Sure enough, lein deps gives me an error although I am not convinced it is safe to ignore:
"Retrieving com/thebuzzmedia/exiftool-lib/1.1/exiftool-lib-1.1.pom from The Buzz Media Maven Repository Could not transfer artifact com.thebuzzmedia:exiftool-lib:pom:1.1 from/to The Buzz Media Maven Repository (http://maven.thebuzzmedia.com): Checksum validation failed, no checksums available from the repository"
Attempting to import the ExifTool class in my clojure code still gives me a ClassNotFoundException.
core.clj:
(ns clojure-mongo.core
(:require [monger.core :as mg]
[monger.collection :as mc])
(:import [com.mongodb MongoOptions ServerAddress]
org.bson.types.ObjectId
com.thebuzzmedia.exiftool-lib.ExifTool))
What can I do to get access to this class from within clojure?
