OpenGrok is in Fedora.  We actually use openfire on the Mugshot

Besides the above, just look at all of the Java software in Fedora and
JPackage now.  Pretty much all of it should be JDK 6 compatible.

Anyways, what I'm saying is that largely the Fedora Java efforts are
focused around OpenJDK 6+, and over time as those remaining projects
fix their software the need for what you're asking for should go away.
