If you want to take the attention of the SIG members. Please open a bug report and make it block FE-JAVASIG

Ongoing projects

State of Affairs

The current brief packaging guidelines.

The more detailed packaging guidelines

If you would like to help us with packaging Java software, read how to join Fedora packagers or get in touch with us directly and we will guide you through the process.

See Java packaging common problems page for help with common problems while building java packages and how to solve them.

Tasks

Currently Open Java Package Review Bugs

We generally like to get new Java packages into Fedora as long as they follow our packaging guidelines. Currently there is no simple way to query bugzilla for Java-only package reviews so people interested in java reviews have it a bit harder. Just go through all open package reviews or Java package reviews. The second link can be incomplete, but should contain mostly Java packages.
