Right.  The windows console works the same way - it tries to download 
the server specific jar files from the admin server via http.

Yes.  Just grab them from /usr/share/dirsrv/html/java.  I suggest using 
tar or another program to preserve the symlinks - but no big deal as the 
jar files are small if you use cp and get redundant copies.  The jar 
files are platform independent.
