I would love to join and contribute to any such SIG. I am a package maintainer but I am not maintaining any Java package as of now. It would be nice if we can help out newbies as well as other maintainers like me to package and maybe develop java apps.

Hi everyone,
There has been an effort few years back to start Java SIG but it didn't
work out in the end (no idea why). I decided it's time to try again :-)
I would like to start Java SIG for a lot of reasons. Some of them:
* Packaging guidelines are in need of an update (badly)
* Consistency in java packages is somewhat lacking
* More eyes see more approach, I'd like for all java related commits to
go through an alias so we can all watch out for changes that can
break our stuff
* Have a place where we can collect tips & tricks, solutions to common
problems etc. Currently this information is scattered through
people's wiki pages
* Java needs collaboration more than most other areas, because problems
cannot be safely discovered automatically when someone changes
dependency. This can cause serious headaches (to me at least). Java
SIG to the rescue! :-)
* Other languages have their own SIGs and we don't! :-)
Who am I?
Owner/Co-maintainer of a bunch of Java packages (mostly maven plugins,
apache-commons, junit, velocity, checkstyle, plexus
libraries). Involved in recent update of maven to v2.2.1.
Reply if you're interested with helping out and being able to
see/influence where Java packaging in Fedora is going. I know there will
be at least a few people joining in.
I'll be starting Java SIG wiki page soon, plus I guess we can peruse
java-devel mailing list for SIG discussions.
