due to some reasons my lappy cannot boot win 7 now and i solely and gladly rely on ubuntu 11.04 . but i cannot figure it out how to create and compile java files on ubuntu. so a step by step guide is very much appreciated and needed.

i will not use a ide like eclipse and rely on the best text editor availble on linux and jdk. so plz help me out to find those and and how to set up the paths etc.

Whose JDK do you want to use? I think Ubuntu comes with openjdk as a package. That would probably be the quickest way to get up and running along with vim as a text editor.
