Eelco Dolstra e3f7dbbac8 Cleanup: Use += to append to envHooks 2014-08-09 12:47:05 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d6259a973 Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATH
All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH.  Thus, you can say

  buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];

and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.

Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html

The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent.  (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)
