Additional JVM arguments can be specified through the `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` environment variable. For language servers to be able to work with Lombok, the JVM must load the `lombok.jar`. Lombok is packaged in nixpkgs, which provides both a `java` wrapper for use with Lombok, as well as the JAR itself on its own. This is what we care about. We can dynamically make this accessible through the addition, whose path points to the JAR that the Lombok package provides. Lombok is very useful, but can be annoying to set-up when not working with a heavy IDE that abstracts it all away. This eliminates the concern altogether, rather than having to manually configure it for something like Neovim. It should just work now. It's a very lightweight addition that won't bloat. If the user already is using the environment variable, the Lombok invocation will be prepended rather than override the variable, hence why it is set in `shellHook`, rather than simply as `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS = "-javaagent:${pkgs.lombok}/share/java/lombok.jar"`. The `lombok` package also has a gcroot tied to it, preventing it from being garbage collected, just like everything else in `packages`.
