Packaging is not a free thing. It takes time energy and someone who is
going to deal with it. Most people who have packages are usually
swamped as it is... so if you see something you would like to get into
Fedora.. first check to see if someone is already packaging it, and
then volunteer to do it yourself (or help someone who can). Otherwise
its not going to happen.
Plus, there's a little fame if not fortune, and usually a few people
willing to help.
I'd be willing to be that if you can *use* netbeans, you can certainly
learn to *package* netbeans, and as an avid user, you're in excellent
position to make sure the package actually works. :)
