You can always do an informal package review or send a PR for existing
package.
As for Eclipse in Fedora Linux, sadly I must say I left trying to
get
Eclipse going on Fedora Linux (Silverblue now) some time ago, in favour
of doing what I needed in my home directory, including maven and graal,
and using netbeans flatpak for IDE because it works.
Building Java apps in your home directory with Internet access is a
trivial task. The official Fedora builds has no network access, so you
need to unbundle all dependencies into a separate packages first. This
is the main problem.
