Use Clojure interfaces in a Java library project

Question

I would like to use some of the Clojure interfaces in a Java library project in several situations where it would be useful for my Java classes to implement them. In particular:

Doing this would make my Java library much more user-friendly for Clojure-based users.

However I don't want to import the whole of clojure.jar as a dependency - since it is relatively large and my library is mainly targeted at Java users.

Is there a way to import and develop against the Clojure interfaces without bringing in the rest of Clojure?

Try it:

unpack the clojure jar
put only the .class you need into a directory named LightweightClojure
run you test appli (test + lib + LightweightClojure)
goto 2 until it works
zip the LightweightClojure directory into LightweightClojure.jar

If you are using Maven, you can us Maven Shade Plugin's minimize-jar configuration.
