Issue launching REPL with Clojure 1.9.0-alpha19

[mikera]

I get an exception with the following message trying to start a REPL with the latest Clojure alpha: Invalid token: ::clojure.test/once-fixtures

Seems to be related to:
clojure-emacs/cider#2081

Dropping back to Clojure 1.9.0-alpha17 seems to solve the problem as a temporary workaround.

It's worth noting that this my team is seeing this issue still in the full release of clojure 1.9.

I think a fix would be to update https://github.com/ccw-ide/ccw/blob/v0.35.1.STABLE001/ccw.core/pom.xml#L155-L156 to use https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/releases/tag/v0.16.0 or newer. I don't know what other impact this might have though.

@laurentpetit any chance of a release to fix this in the near future? It seems to be a breaking issue for using CCW with Clojure 1.9.

Update: I found another workaround, you can uncheck "Windows/Preferences/Clojure/General/Launch REPLs with cider-nrepl". This seems to solve the problem with Clojure 1.9.0 at least.
