Thanks Tobias! Is there anything we can do to help other guys who'd like to
have this rpm or have distro maintainers adopt it?

Well, that's kind of complex situation.
First, the RPM is supposed to compile the source, which usually comes as a GNU
make tarball. I've already converted a C project to a make project, but I'm not
familiar with your source and I'm not sure if you'd like such a big change. So,
beside the fact that you'd need a Fedora-Maintainer (which I'd like to become,
but I'm to occupied atm.), you must also comply with their quality-standards
(which are very high and as I've stated above, I don't think that you wanna put
that kind of effort in this idea).
My assumption is, that focusing on a third-party repo would be the appropriate
way. Although I'm not related to any repo yet, I'll release RPMs for my other
project (which is using sqlite4java and therefore is the reason why I built the
RPMs: https://sourceforge.net/projects/roboquiz/) and a third project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/weblooker/) too. So, eventually I'll get in
touch with one of the common repos and try to become a maintainer.
Until then you're free to simply offer the rpm's as downloads and I'll try to
update them whenever possible. If the feedback is positive I can also build
packages for the jar and Debian packages.
regards.
