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.)
