📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds java-jdtls-mcp-server, jdtls-mcp, and lsp4j-mcp package definitions. It adds a JDTLS launcher and updates package-set exports, unfree package handling, update handling, and package documentation.

pkgs/java-jdtls-mcp-server/default.nix, pkgs/lsp4j-mcp/default.nix, pkgs/jdtls-mcp/default.nix, pkgs/jdtls-mcp/jdtls-mcp.sh
Adds npm and Maven derivations, platform-specific release selection, installation logic, Java wrappers, and a launcher that prepares writable configuration and workspace data.
Package-set exports and update handling
pkgs/default.nix, scripts/update.sh
Exports the new packages, exposes filtered unfree packages through package views and overlays, and marks jdtls-mcp for manual updates.
Package list documentation
README.md
Updates the package count and adds the three MCP packages to the package table.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34123

The new Java MCP packages may make the package set unusable on x86_64-darwin because jdtls-mcp throws on unsupported systems during evaluation. This should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

At least one platform source hash is very likely incorrect (duplicate across different URLs) and would break fetching/building on the affected system(s).

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Adds three Java-focused MCP servers to this flake-parts Nix repo and wires them into the central pkgs/default.nix package set, providing runnable CLI entrypoints for each server.

Changes:

  • Introduces a Maven-built lsp4j-mcp package that installs a shaded jar and wraps it with a java -jar launcher.
  • Adds a jdtls-mcp package from upstream release tarballs plus a Nix-friendly launcher script that creates a writable config/data area.
  • Packages java-jdtls-mcp-server as an npm-based CLI and registers all new packages in pkgs/default.nix.
File summaries
File Description
pkgs/lsp4j-mcp/default.nix New Maven package for the LSP4J-based MCP server, including a wrapped Java entrypoint.
pkgs/jdtls-mcp/default.nix New derivation for the JDTLS MCP server release archives with platform-specific sources.
pkgs/jdtls-mcp/jdtls-mcp.sh Launcher script to run the Equinox-based server without native launchers and with writable config.
pkgs/java-jdtls-mcp-server/default.nix New npm-packaged MCP server CLI using buildNpmPackage.
pkgs/default.nix Wires the new packages into the repo’s package set.

The aarch64-linux entry carried the x86_64-linux hash, so the
aarch64-linux build failed with a fixed-output hash mismatch.

Also pin jdtls-mcp to manual updates: its three per-platform tarball
hashes move together, which nix-update cannot rewrite as a set, and
regenerate the README package table and count badge for the three new
packages.

Comment thread pkgs/jdtls-mcp/default.nix
jdtls-mcp: Equinox takes an exclusive lock on its `-data` area, so two
servers started against different workspaces cannot share the default.
Key the default on the canonical workspace path.

lsp4j-mcp: locate the shaded jar by glob instead of pinning the pom's
literal `1.0.0-SNAPSHOT` artifact name, which a version bump would leave
stale.

Review pass, addressed in 3412304 (plus the earlier 8742f03).

Fixed

  • pkgs/jdtls-mcp/default.nix aarch64-linux hash (Copilot, CodeRabbit): it was a copy of the x86_64-linux hash. Corrected to sha256-GsseNdlC0L+63c/UVEUnA+BRqy7uNsXInPHWByhGQK4=, verified with nix store prefetch-file and by the now-green build (aarch64-linux) leg.
  • pkgs/lsp4j-mcp/default.nix stale jarName (Copilot): the hard-coded lsp4j-mcp-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar would survive a version bump and break the install. The shaded jar is now located by glob (excluding shade's original-*.jar), with a guard if the match isn't unique. Verified the installed jar is byte-identical to the previous build.
  • pkgs/jdtls-mcp/jdtls-mcp.sh shared Eclipse state (CodeRabbit): the default -data/-configuration path was $TMPDIR/jdtls-mcp-data for every workspace, so a second server would hit the Equinox workspace lock. The default is now keyed on the canonical workspace path; an explicit second argument still wins.

Not changing

  • Add the packages to overlayAttrs (CodeRabbit): overlayAttrs is defined as packages // unfreePackages // { ... }, so all three already reach overlay consumers. The coding guideline this was drawn from is stale and needs its own fix.
  • license = licenses.mit with no LICENSE file (Copilot): upstream's README states MIT under a ## License heading. That's an explicit grant, just not one GitHub's detector picks up. The existing comment already records the caveat.
  • Keep unsupported systems evaluable (CodeRabbit): the throw on an unmatched system is the same pattern pkgs/coderabbit/default.nix uses, and this flake's systems input is exactly the three systems jdtls-mcp supports, so nothing in the flake outputs reaches it.
