There is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JBossAS7 in case you have time to do few reviews and speed up the process. Creating partial packages is generally acceptable but not recommended. Naming in a way that clearly shows it's just a single piece is mandatory. Building using upstream method is something that I insist on whenever possible unless there is an unresolvable problem given. Can you tell us details about what you need, how is the build failing and etc.? If you join #fedora-java on freenode we can speed up the process.
