I think you'll be interested to read this post I wrote two months ago: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/whats-the-state-of-the-java-sig/11714 The problem is that almost none (between zero and one) of the original Java package maintainers in fedora are still actively maintaining any Java packages. Most have either just left, or have jumped ship for the shiny new world of Modularity, leaving users out in the rain. Since early 2019, there's been an ongoing effort to try to keep things from exploding, led by the Stewardship SIG, but it's not a permanent solution, since it's not a replacement for "real" maintainers for Java packages. TL;DR: We've been trying to keep things working as best as we can - but with severely limited manpower, it's basically maintenance on a best-effort basis for almost the entire Java stack.
