I have java J2SE runtime enviroment installed, do I need any other Java software to run Pack3d???

J2SE runtime enviroment should be enough. It seems you have a problem with your Java software. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to resolve that.

I do not really understand your problem with this one. You can do UV-mapping and texturing exactly the same way as you do it for any other model using MAX or other software (I use DeepUV) and then import it to SH3. The only recommendation by Devs is put textures on one/two plates.

Yes, SH3 uses alpha channels.
