[fedora-java] including vimclojure in Fedora 18

[Dan Allen]

Michel,

Excellent!

I've done some additional work on the package, including building the
vimclojure nailgun server and installing the jar (as the guidelines require
using mvn-rpmbuild). In the source, the server uses lein to build, but it's
a trivial Maven POM to write because all it's doing is compiling Java with
no external dependencies other than Clojure. Therefore, I just added the
POM to the spec and voila, it builds :)

Since I'm now installing the vimclojure nailgun server, I think it's
reasonable to include nailgun as a dependency. Here's the experience the
user can expect:

(in terminal #1)
sudo yum install vimclojure
java -jar /usr/share/java/vimclojure/server.jar

(in terminal #2)
vim test.clj
type: let g:vimclojure#WantNailgun = 1
type: (println "Hello, World")
type: \et

And voila, they see "Hello, World" printed in a split buffer.

That's a pretty stellar experience compared to what it takes to get
VimClojure setup manually.

I opted to name the package "vimclojure" since it's providing both the
server jar (in JPP-compliant fashion) and the vimfiles. In review, we could
consider sub-packages, but for now it really makes a lot of sense to me to
keep it together.

I'd say the package is ready for review!

Please note that I changed the name of the repository. It's now here:

https://github.com/mojavelinux/fedorapkg-vimclojure

-Dan

p.s. Btw, the vimclojure server jar will come in handy for leiningin as it
will provide the jar file needed for lein-tarsier (if you want to only use
system jar files).
