Thanks for all the help! I knew I could count on you guys. I saw that there were a bunch of params in the constructor, but naively hoped there'd be some kind of default values for them so I didn't have to muck around with anything too much. Disappointed once again. I'll look into exactly what else I have to move around/import/instantiate before I can get the parser to "just work."
As for the comments about Clojure being difficult to use w/o knowing Java, aside from this unfortunate experience, I've found it pretty easy/not an issue. The automatic upgrading of integers to the appropriate underlying Java (/JVM) types, and the wrappers around Java's regex stuff are two good examples. I'd imagine it'd be much more difficult coming in cold, although TJOC and the other intro to Clojure book I read at least covered numerics and over/underflow pretty thoroughly. The other stuff (typed arrays, e.g.) keep out of your way unless you actively seek them out, so it's not a big deal either. That being said, while "Just enough Java for Clojure," as Ivan and Michael discussed, might not be big enough on its own for a book/article, I, for one, would appreciate more on interop than I've seen, which tends to be along the lines of "use ClassName/staticThing for static things, use . for everything else, also .. and doto exist."
