SiSU is not particularly widely known or used, but I would humbly
suggest you drop your naming exception for a java/library an eclipse
package to end up using the same name. You could continue to identify it
as an eclipse or java library.

Ultimately you are right SiSU could be packaged for Fedora as sisudoc,
though my preference for consistency, given that SiSU is invoked by use
of the command "sisu" ... is understandable.
