Java Packaging HOWTO mentioned by others is a good starting point.
I would recommend you joining Java SIG [1], where you can find help with
packaging, reviews, bugfixes etc. We have IRC channel and mailing list
where you can communicate with us.

* I'm used to gpg-sign my git commits/tags by default. Should I
continue this practice while packaging? I've read somewhere that some people don't
want that, therefore my question.
We generally don't do that in Fedora.
