 Well, largely our "core" stack (and by this I mean comps) does not

 deal swapping out say our objectweb-asm for JPackage's.

 However, this is most definitely not a sustainable system in the long term.

 I sort of view JPackage as just a specific instance of the
 cross-distribution collaboration problem.  Most distributions tend to
 focus primarily on dependencies driven by desktop apps or their own
 internal needs, but the general free software world is far larger than
 that, even before OpenJDK opened up a lot of Java software to us.

So there are a bunch of Java packages that I use that I would like to
drive into *some* repository where they can get picked up and used by
others with similar needs.  I've been driving towards Fedora so far.
What's a good long-term solution, then?  Should I keep that up, focus
on JPackage, help figure out how the two are going to cooperate, ...?

It depends on who your target audience is. If it's Fedora, then just get them into Fedora. If it's the Linux community, then get them into JPackage and from there get them into Fedora.
