Build & Share Java App with Nix on GitHub

This video shows you how to build a Java application locally, and then package it up so that others can simply copy-and-paste a Nix config snippet to install it from GitHub onto their computers. You don't have to "know a guy" to get it onto Nixpkgs - you can do everything completely from source, dynamically downloaded from GitHub!
