[Nix-dev] Maven support in nix

[Marc Weber]

Excerpts from shacka's message of Sun Apr 06 20:51:22 +0000 2014:
> is it possible to build maven project as nix package?
Not at all. Maven has its own dependency management, and nobody has
worked on porting this to nix (AFAIK).

Existing solutions (non Java):
- cabal2nix (cabal descriptions to nix)
- py2nix (or such) same for python
- ruby2nix (or such ) same for ruby

-hacknix/nixpkgs-ruby-overlay (they convert hackage/rubyforge to a pool
which gets translated to .nix files, derivations get created by
functions on the fly)

some time age there was announced some work /question about bundler
support (ruby)
