Hi Raj,
Actual development is happening in upstream projects (e.g. Eclipse, Tomcat and 
etc.). In Fedora we are doing mostly packaging work which includes fixes for 
building given projects on Fedora, making them use system installed jars 
instead of bundled jars, helping upstream port their project to newer version 
of a dependency (when we have a newer version in Fedora) and etc.
One of the most out-standing problems we have is updating Maven and its 
dependencies to latest versions. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MavenUpdate 
for details.
As I'm mostly interested in Eclipse we have also 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eclipse#Plug-ins_We.27d_Like_To_Ship for plugins 
we would like to ship.
Or you may want to help us with the development of the following plugins 
http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/.

Others may add other things to work on or you may just say what are you 
interested in and wants to work on.

Hoping there will be something you will find interesting enough to work with 
us,
Alex

There's the Eclipse plugins for Fedora developers:

http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/eclipse-fedorapackager.git

Elliott Baron started this work and a few of us helped a bit back at
FUDCon in December.  Nothing's been done since then but I see a lot of
potential with it.  It would be great to have someone shepherd this from
its current state into RPMs and documentation for new contributors.  I'm
attaching a screenshot to show off its awesomeness :)  (I hope those
working on it don't mind me showing this sneak peek).
