Yes, there's a formal process for introducing and maintaining a new package in Fedora. Here's the overview:

To start, I'd like to upload the NetBeans Platform 6.0.1. It requires

JavaHelp

and swing-layout, so here are links to all the srpms:

Can you look at these packages and tell me if they are acceptable for

Fedora?

Also, keep in mind that your packages may sit in the review queue for a while because the Java packaging guidelines have not been approved yet. (Mine are.)
