I've been told that Kawa has better Java integration than Clojure.
Kawa makes it easy to extend Java classes, use annotations, parameterized types (to an extent).
If you define-simple-class you get a very straight-forward mapping to a Java class.
The colon syntax OBJ:PROPERTY first looks for a field PROPERTY in OBJ; and then
it automatically look for a getPROPERTY method. Etc etc.
A big potential advantage is that with Kawa you just need the kawa.jar. You don't
need to install and learn a new tool philosopy (i.e. leiningen) - which causes extra
startup slow-down. Kawa starts up really fast.

BTW I do recommend building Kawa from Subversion; the "released" jar is a bit old.
I'd like to make a new official release, but I'm in the middle of various changes.
