- If a package provides github binary release tarballs, should I prefer those, or should I prefer fetchMavenArtifact?

- Java libraries are not meant to be added to javaPackages, at least libraries like
postgresql_jdbc and jogl are not. Is this intentional, or a bug?

- Java libraries are put into
by-name/.../, contrary to what is usual in other languages within Nix (e.g. ocamlPackages, etc.). Should I follow that convention?
Java libraries are a bit different because they aren't notably intertwined with each other, while languages like ocaml and python have a very intertwined library ecosystem | 21:55:35 |
| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Java libraries are treated by and large like normal packages both in Nix and elsewhere | 21:55:59 |

As far as I can tell javaPackages only has openjfx nowadays, and that will likely be moved out later on when separated from the jdk itself | 21:57:58 |

| vog | Thanks! Regarding my last question, I decided to prefer fetchMavenArtifact, for the simple pragmatic reason that it allows me to easier reference to the sub libraries (junitsocket-common, etc.) separately. | 22:56:48 |
