Most people get involved in Fedora through package maintenance. If
your favourite Java application is not included in Fedora, packaging
it for inclusion in Fedora is an excellent way to get started. See
this link for more information:

If you want to do some actual Java coding, then Andrew's advice is
good: Pick your favourite open source project and start submitting
patches directly to them. :-)
