Someone who understands the issues surrounding Java packaging needs to
sit down and write out some packaging guidelines.  Currently we have
nothing at all, which is really suboptimal.

Just look at the Application Specific Guidelines section at the end
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines, create
PackagingDrafts/Java in the same style and bug the packaging
committe.  One of us will volunteer to help drive your submission.
