Description

Combined Clojure + Java development becomes very convenient as VScode supports both languages in a the same project.

In this context it would be super useful if a Java project could be based on the Clojure deps.edn file, which contains similar information as a pom.xml, specifically the project libraries.

(in fact I use a conversion tool from deps.edn -> pom.xml in order to have Clojure and Java classpath in sync)

Research direction

Start by reading the existing pom.xml project-library handling and compare it with the Clojure deps.edn structure. Trace the extension entry point that discovers project libraries, then verify that a Java project using deps.edn exposes the same library and classpath information as one using pom.xml.
