or pre-built via Zulu). Platforms with OpenJDK not (yet) in Nixpkgs
(`Aarch32`, `Aarch64`) point to the (unfree) `oraclejdk`.
Also note that not using `stripJavaArchivesHook` will likely cause the
generated `.jar` files to be non-deterministic, which is not optimal.
Using it, however, does not always guarantee reproducibility.
JAR files that are intended to be used by other packages should be
installed in `$out/share/java`. JDKs have a stdenv setup hook that add
any JARs in the `share/java` directories of the build inputs to the
