Include Neo4j server in jar

I am creating a Clojure application that uses Neo4J via the REST API, and I would like to include Neo4j as a dependency.

I read that it is possible to embed Neo4j http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/tutorials-java-embedded.html

But is it also possible to use the REST API that way?

This is what my project.clj looks like:

(defproject example "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
                 [clojurewerkz/neocons "2.0.0"]
                 [org.neo4j.app/neo4j-server "2.1.0-M01"]]
  :aliases {"neo4j" ["run" "-m" "org.neo4j.server.Bootstrapper"]}
  :jvm-opts ["-Dorg.neo4j.server.database.location=data/graph.db"]
)

But it fails with WARNING: The key [org.neo4j.server.database.location] is missing from the Neo Server configuration. and then throws a bunch of exceptions, indicating it did not find a database location.

I tried adding the above JVM opts, and copied the neo4j-server.properties to the resources folder without any luck.

Or you create your own subclass of CommunityBoostrapper that also accepts the argument from the command line, should be easy enough.

Check my little side project for some hints:

Neo4j will look for the configuration in /etc/neo/conf/neo4j-server.properties. Try putting the 'org.neo4j.server.database.location=data/graph.db' in there.
