Hi,

Sorry for the book referring instead of direct answer -
those are too generic questions to answer in a message.

The best thing to understand this stuff better is to
read Nathan Meyers book "Java Programming on Linux" 
(www.javalinux.net).

You also can find some answer searching through the
Java-Linux archive 
http://www.mail-archive.com/java-linux@java.blackdown.org/

Also you can go to Java tutorial and look over there
