updating the windows cmdline section of the readme

I had a question on how to update this section of the readme for labrepl in light of a few recent changes:

  1. lein self-install is now supported on Windows
  2. It says to download the latest clojure jar (1.3.1-alpha) but the latest project.clj that I pull down from github has clojure 1.2 - either the project.clj should be updated, and we just run lein deps, or is downloading clojure 1.3 and setting CLOJURE_JAR overriding the clojure jar in project.clj? If we use project.clj, can we do away with the "set CLOJURE_JAR"
  3. I have leiningen-1.3.0, and it doesn't seem to have a {your-lein-install}\bin directory - I just have {your-lein-install} directory in my path so I can call lein.bat.

This is the section in question:

Getting Started (Windows command line)

This is minimally tested. You are probably better off using Maven or one of the IDEs above. Let me know if you have problems.

  • Make sure you have Java installed.
  • Make sure you have
  • leiningen installed. Do not use lein self-install as Windows installation is a manual process. You will need to:
  • Download the leinigen.jar and set LEIN_JAR to point to it.
  • Download Clojure 1.3-alpha1
  • Set CLOJURE_JAR to point to the clojure.jar file.
  • Set your path to include {your-lein-install}\bin
  • Run lein.bat deps to install all the dependent libraries.
  • Run script\repl to launch the labrepl.
  • Browse to http://localhost:8080 for the labs.
  • Press Ctrl+D to exit the repl when you are done.

This is a work in progress now. I have started the move to 1.3 but it is a long road. Once everything is worked out I will make the appropriate updates to the README
