Include platform-specific java dependencies (without tanning my hair)

I would like to use Clojure's HDF5 java library . Unfortunately, the usual way to enable java dependencies (i.e., via Leiningen support for Maven repositories) is not available. This is most likely because the HDF5-Java library is a collection of compiled C ++ and Fortran code with JNI support.

I looked at Maven-izing the recent version of HDF5-Java, but did not understand how the versions for a particular platform are processed there, and decided that this was too big a problem. Assuming I'm stuck with using platform-specific cans released by the HDF group, is there a relatively good way to deal with them while continuing to live mostly in a comfortable Leiningen world?

I have never tried this myself, but it looks like you should have your own dependencies in Leiningen, packing the HDF5 library into a JAR file, following the directory structure described here , installing it in Maven and adding a regular dependency on this library to project.clj. Leiningen must handle the dirty work of discovering your OS and architecture and including the right parts along the way to the project.
