Clojure GUI using Swing – Clojure docs and tutorials

(See my full list of Clojure Swing examples and tutorials at Clojure Swing Interop)

Here’s a really brief example for building a Java Swing app using Clojure.

(ns myswingproject.core
  (:import
    [javax.swing SwingUtilities JFrame JLabel]))

(defn create-and-show-gui
  []

  (let [my-frame (doto (JFrame. "My Frame")
                   (.setDefaultCloseOperation JFrame/EXIT_ON_CLOSE))
        my-label (JLabel. "Hello UI")
        content-pane (.getContentPane  my-frame)]

    (.add content-pane my-label)
    (.pack my-frame)
    (.setVisible my-frame true)))


(defn gui []
  (SwingUtilities/invokeLater create-and-show-gui))

(gui)

(ns myswingproject.core

(:import

[javax.swing SwingUtilities JFrame JLabel]))

(defn create-and-show-gui

[]

(let [my-frame (doto (JFrame. "My Frame")

(.setDefaultCloseOperation JFrame/EXIT_ON_CLOSE))

my-label (JLabel. "Hello UI")

content-pane (.getContentPane my-frame)]

(.add content-pane my-label)

(.pack my-frame)

(.setVisible my-frame true)))

(defn gui []

(SwingUtilities/invokeLater create-and-show-gui))

(gui)
