load a new dependency in slime?

Question

I am using emacs and swank-clojure. How do I resolve the below scenario -

1. I have added a new dependency to project.clj.
2. I run lein deps in a shell to get the new dep.
3. I have an existing slime session that is open and want to use a function from the new dep.

How do I get the existing slime session to load the new dependency ?

Thanks, Murtaza

You should have a look at pomegranate which is designed to provide similar if not identical capabilities as the one you describe.

As pointed out by @gergek in the comments, leiningen2 ships with pomegranate, so that if you're on lein2 you have to just fire something like the following in the slime REPL:

(require '[cemerick.pomegranate :as p])
(p/add-dependencies :coordinates '[[org.clojure/core.logic "0.7.5"]])

Have a look at add-dependencies docs for more info on how to use it.
