Hi everybody,
Long story short, I can no longer in good conscience be the primary
maintainer of (most) Java packages in Fedora. I am not using any of
them, I don't like Java or any other languages targeting the JVM, and
don't get me started on the horrid Java ecosystem. Recently I've been
spending 40-60 hours per week at my desk, and I just don't have the
capacity to feel guilty for not taking care of those packages any
longer.
Thank you so much for the work you put into these packages, and I'm
really sorry I couldn't be more help.
After struggling with our Java packages for quite a bit, the neuro-sig
reached a similar conclusion---that they're just too much work or just
pretty much impossible to keep in Fedora. We've now accepted that
documenting Java tools and asking users to install them directly from
upstream is the most we can manage.
