[Nix-dev] Working with Gradle-based packages

[Alp Mestanogullari]

Hello!

Sparkle developer here. Have you seen the instructions in sparkle's README,
about the simple/quick way to build and run a new application?

https://github.com/tweag/sparkle#how-to-use

To do that with Nix, all you have to do is use `stack --nix` instead of
plain `stack`. The existing shell.nix in sparkle's repo takes care of a lot
of things for you.

Alternatively, you could write a similar shell.nix yourself, tailored to
your project but that contains everything needed to build sparkle (same
dependencies and tricks as in sparkle's shell.nix)
. I recommend the first method because it allows you to immediately get
started, but feel free to ask for help when/if you want to go for the
second option, if you get stuck.
