How can I restart swank in Leiningen's interactive mode?

Question

Let's say I'm running Leiningen in interactive mode ('lein interactive') and have started a Swank Clojure server ('swank'). Now I want to kill/restart the Swank server without killing Leiningen as well. How can I do this? Is this even possible?

So far I've just been using Ctrl-C to kill both, which doesn't make Leiningen's interactive mode all that useful for me since I may as well have just ran 'lein swank' to begin with.

Answer 1

This isn't implemented yet. However, the interactive task is intended for people who don't use swank. Swank already keeps a JVM open for your project, so that kind of defeats the purpose of the interactive task.

Answer 2

If you are using Slime, you can call ,rest which is bound to (restart-inferior-lisp). This will restart your swank session.
