This is not a Fedora package. This is a COPR package.
Your wording in your initial emails made it sound like this was a package either in EPEL or going to be in EPEL. In a very rare case, I was in agreement with Nico and going to say the same things they did. Thank you for clarifying this but it was confusing.
COPR guidelines allows usage of pre-built binaries if they don't violate
the Fedora Legal guidelines[1]: "You do not need to comply with
Packaging Guidelines".

PyCharm CE binaries are licensed under the terms of the Apache 2.0
license, which is completely free and opensource.

That's why we use pre-built binaries.

Java SIG tried to revive the Java stack on Fedora several times. It's
still dead.
When the Java stack will be operational again, we will switch to
building from sources.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on BBS... time to reboot.
