Printing the class-path in Clojure

Let’s compare how we print the class-path in Clojure and how we do it on Java.

(println (seq (.getURLs (java.lang.ClassLoader/getSystemClassLoader))))

In Java:

import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;

public class PrintClasspath {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Get the System Classloader
        ClassLoader sysClassLoader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();

        //Get the URLs
        URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)sysClassLoader).getURLs();

        for(int i=0; i&lt; urls.length; i++)
        {
            System.out.println(urls[i].getFile());
        }
    }
}

To be fair, the output is not the same, but the effect is.

Cool one liner. I’m just starting in on Clojure and played around until I could get the Clojure version to print in the same format as your Java version:
```
(doseq [url (seq (.getURLs (java.lang.ClassLoader/getSystemClassLoader)))]
  (println (.getFile url)))
```
Love it!

This might not work in all cases.
You could also want:
```
(import 'clojure.pprint)
(pprint (seq (.getURLs (->  (Thread.currentThread)  (.getContextClassLoader)))))
```

  Sorry:
```
(use 'clojure.pprint)
(import 'java.lang.Thread)
(pprint (seq (.getURLs (-> (Thread/currentThread) (.getContextClassLoader)))))
```

    Martin: syntactic variant on your example:
    
    (use 'clojure.pprint) (import 'java.lang.Thread) (-> (Thread/currentThread) (.getContextClassLoader) (.getURLs) (seq) (pprint))

    My code got messed with by WordPress and got quotes changed to backticks :( Don’t know how to format code in my comment, sorry.

this code worked fine with the older version of clojure. I tried it with the newer one but unfortunately, it didn’t work out. What could be the issue??

  It works for me in Clojure 1.2.1, what error are you getting?
