Hands-On
In Emacs open the file nav.clj located in the code/clj/cider-tour/src/cider-tour directory of the GitHub project:
Screenshot - nav.clj
Position point within the (say-hello) expression and type M-. [RET] to jump to the core.clj file where say-hello is defined.
Now, type M-,. to jump back to the nav.clj buffer.
Next, position point within the string "my_res.txt" in the (def res-data ...) expression. This string is the name of a file in the `code/clj/cider-tour/resource directory. The resource directory is on the classpath. Type C-c M-. [RET] to load the my_res.txt file from the classpath.
