It looks like we forgot to add something like IContributionFactory for
method calling!
Still I'm not sure this is a problem to you because if I got it right
you create a jvm-object instance (although dynamically) through
IContributionFactory (you can push your own into the root context!). So
can't you simply create an annotated method through Clojure?
Looking at the default implementation (ReflectionContributionFactory)
there was at one time an extension point to contribute new protcols
(e.g. bundleclojure://mybundle/MyClojure.clojure) support but I doubt it
is still available/working.
