On NixOS, I am trying to install java in order to compile my code from the command line.
I do not see the java compiler listed anywhere in the list of available packages, queried by running nix-env -qaP '*' --description.

This page might help: nixos.org/nixos/packages.html it's a dynamic search page for NixOS' store.

Searching using a package name usually useless unless you know what you are looking for. Use package page mentioned above or add--descriptionflag, for example,nix-env -qaP --description | grep -i java.*devel

There are two Java compilers available via Nixpkgs: OpenJDK and OracleJDK, named openjdk and oraclejdk, respectively.
Note that the OracleJDK doesn't seem to be available in the top-level expression, but you can certainly install the openjdk.
