Hi,
My name is Edmon Begoli and I am a new active member of the Fedora Project.
I am an experienced Java developer, so I am contacting you guys to introduce myself and to offer help in:
- testing any Java related packages - it seems that JDK 7 may need a testing owner and I would like to be a point person for this one
- helping developing or packaging anything related to Java
Thank you in advance and please feel free to engage me in Java related tasks - testing, packaging or development.

Hi and welcome Edmon,
We desperately need more help from the community to keep the Java stack uptodate. For now these are mainly packaging tasks. Have you been sponsored as a Fedora packager? If yes there is a long list of Package review bugs pending in bugzilla - i.e. you can look for all the aduna-* review bugs in bugzilla and do some of them. This work is going to benefit KDE search/indexing part. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaryEllenFoster/SopranoSesame for details.
If you are not a packager yet - it would be nice if you submit a new package for review in order to become such. There are few ongoing projects with unpackaged dependencies. And one of them is especially interesting from QA point of few - AutoQA. Take a look at the following page for detail https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/gwt . You can package htmlunit or easymock-classextension and submit it for review.
I'm speaking for packaging only because this is the most outstanding need and you have offered to help in packaging. :)
Regards, Alexander Kurtakov

The only packages ever produced for OpenJDK/IcedTea7 (at least as far as I know) were a set for the JavaOne preview / Milestone 3 release:

A new release of IcedTea7, 1.13, is planned soon and will be based on milestone 7.

If you want to take a look, you can check out IcedTea7 via Mercurial:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea
A tarball can be created for the RPM using ./configure; make dist. -- Andrew :)
