There is none that I know of. Most java packages just dump all their
files in /usr/share/java/${pkgname}/ and add a launcher script to
/usr/bin.

k thx. i guess i can figure it out. another question. how long normally
does
it take to be a TU. my main goal is just contributing to arch but being a
TU
would be nice one day
It really depends. Make sure you learn most he packaging tricks and
contribute to AUR. Once you are confident you know most tricks in the
book and you think we are also confident you did, get in contact with
one of the current TUs and ask them to sponsor you.
Alternatively you may ask one at some point what they think you should
improve before you apply to increase your chances.

At the moment i can do programs that use C** programming, of course some
dont compile but if they compile fine i can usually get them to work and get
it pkged correctly according to namcap
start learning other programs, how to apply patches, make sure all
your packages follow the standards. At some point we'd like to see
that you know how to handle when issues arise. Remember we are a
bleading edge distro, not all things work just out of the box so
simple patches may need to be created.
Ronald
well i don't know how to make patches, now if there is patches out, i
can figure out how to apply them to the build function though
