[fedora-java] Java packages in EPEL

[Lubomir Rintel]

Hi,

I intend to get selenium remote control into EPEL 6. Unfortunately, its
dependency chain is rather big, including whole Maven stack. I've
compiled a list of packages (run-time, for now, probably more are needed
to build) and would like to know if there's anyone with similar interest
around (Orion, I've seen your message in the archives).

Maintainers of the packages (in Cc): It would be awesome if you could
request the branch and maintain your packages. Maintenance of the
package in EPEL is basically rather low-overhead. It mostly involves
patching the package for few serious and security bugs if there are any,
with rebases to new versions strongly discouraged).

If you for some reason don't want to, or for whatever reason can't
maintain the package in EPEL for EL-6, please let me know.

There are also some packages which are already branched an need to be
built. Respective maintainers, could you please trigger a rebuild if you
are not waiting for dependencies? Thanks!

Also, there's a rather large number of orphaned packages. I doubt they
are obsoleted somehow, since they're being still dependent on. Unless
anyone else volunteers, I'll take them, at least for EPEL branches.

Now, here's the list (ordered by maintainer name):
