This approach will buy you *literally nothing* compared to how things already work, assuming you don't advocate just redistributing binary artifacts / JARs from Maven Central. Given that assumption, JARs would still need to be built 1) from source, in a 2) trusted environment, 3) against trusted dependencies, as I don't think any other approach should be acceptable for content distributed by the Fedora Project. But then you're back to *exactly how Fedora packages for Java projects already work* - only with the added complication that distributing those build artifacts as plain JARs instead of RPMs now makes them impossible to consume as dependencies from other RPM builds.
