Hi,

I am working on a Fedora 12 machine, but I would like to build Java packages for rawhide without necessarily enabling rawhide repository for all the system (it messes with the stable updates).

How can I create an RPM build environment for rpmbuild that accesses all the dependencies available in rawhide without affecting the host?

using mock is the best option that I know of.

You can use scratch builds to test the building process without actually putting the updated version in rawhide. Depending on what exactly you are testing that might be a better option.
