We don't have much of a Java presence in Nixpkgs, but I was thinking of
growing it. This leads to what seems like a bit of a thorny issue: most
java code is distributed in jars, which are glorified zip files. Can anyone
see the problem?
The one I'm afraid of is one of runtime
Nix only scans for hashes, and there's a good chance they'll be kept intact
when compressing.
If that's not good enough, then you'll have to make a file with references
either by hand or by unpacking the jars. I don't know how often this will
actually be needed - is Java retaining paths to

The simple solution is to generate uncompressed JARs (jar -0). But that should
be rarely needed since Java packages typically don't store
