importing a local jar in clojure

# Rationale:

This is a quick guide for using local jars in #clojure.


# create project with lein
```
lein new foo
cd foo
```

Say I have a random JAR file that is not available in any repository:
```
touch README.md
jar cf bar.jar README.md
````


```
mkdir repo

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=local -DartifactId=bar \
  -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=bar.jar \
  -Durl=file:repo
  
  And I write my project.clj like this:

(defproject foo "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.4.0"]
                 [local/bar "1.0.0"]]
  :repositories {"project" "file:repo"})
```

### test with:

```lein deps```
