The Java "ant" program is used much like make and it looks at the
built.html much like a Makefile. The target to build is dist if using \
the cvs source. so type:
ant dist

The accounts end up in the user's $HOME/jxplorer/connections.txt file.
There is also the gssapi.conf and jxconfig.txt files. On Windows these
are under %USERPROFILE%\jxplorer.

Don't know. But its dependencis on the jxplorer directory, and use
of the optional gssapi, might make it difficult to convert to an applet.
The applet might contain the connections, and take the defaults for the
jxconfig.txt so these files would not be needed. The gssapi.conf
is also generated as needed, so it might not be needed either.

I am not much of a java programmer either, so good luck.

In Ubuntu you probably want the sun-java6-jdx package.
Then Google for:
java ant Ubuntu
which leads to:

But I have use the Solaris 10 version of ant and Java.
