For java fedora offers no support except command line compiler (gcc-java). As already suggested the best IDE for java is eclipse.
While it's true that there is no built-in Java support, there is plenty available. The best resource for serious Java on Fedora is jpackage.org.
Watch out about installing the Sun Java from RPM--it's not properly integrated into the structure that Fedora has set up to be Java ready. It's passable if all you need is the Mozilla plugin, but for more sophisticated use it has serious drawbacks. (This is gleaned from reading JPackage docs.)
