So, there is a distinction between ELPA and a package archive. ELPA is run by GNU, and is considered part of Emacs. So, this requires copyright assignment; this would be a nice thing to do for JDEE but would be a substantial amount of work, given the number of contributors. The other two repos are Marmalade, which you create an account and upload, and MELPA which drags stuff directly from the project version control, so gives you a bleeding edge experience. Both are simple. In both cases, Emacs would need to be able to produce a working version of JDEE after pulling it from the repository. For the lisp side, this is trivial. For the Java side, I don't know, but I suspect a lot harder. So, I think this is all tied up with the overall architectural issue of replacing beanshell.
