Heroku Deployment Error w/ Compojure: “Could not locate leiningen/core/classpath__init.class”

Question

I refactored my light webapp to now use Compojure. Everything works fine locally. However, my problem occurs when I deploy to Heroku. I'm trying to run it with lein ring server-headless $PORT, but am getting the error below. My Procfile is web: lein ring server-headless $PORT, due to this issue. But still no luck. Any ideas?

Ok, this problem cropped up in several places. This post (and this one) was informative.

I basically stumbled across the Heroku Buildpack: Clojure. This gives some interesting configuration directions. Specifically, I had to

set a minimum lein version. :min-lein-version "2.0.0"
require JDK 7 and echo "java.runtime.version=1.7" > system.properties
added the ring servlet lib: [ring/ring-servlet "1.2.0-RC1"]

And now everything is copasetic. Hope this helps someone.
