I would advise you to install it directly from the ubuntu repositories
rather than attempt to build it from the Sun download site.

I also would like to know if there is any firewall built-in for ubuntu

You can manipulate and build firewall rules using Firestarter. Anti-virus is
not normally required but if you have a pressing desire to check files for
viruses you can use ClamAV.
