So I need to fix something that is a one-person job to get started.

Probably the best thing is to "scratch your own itch". Fixing Fedora's Java
ecosystem is likely too much even for a full-time packager but fixing a
particular application seems to be a more realistic goal (though fixing the
Eclipse stack probably requires multiple people).
As you mentioned Eclipse in your initial post you should probably talk to Mat
Booth who's Fedora's Eclipse maintainer.
Also at some point you will need a "sponsor". Finding a sponsor might appear
complicated but I think if you talk directly to some sponsors (check the list
archives) you find that this is not a such a big deal once you proposed a few
sensible changes.
