I do not believe you need to create separeate debian packages for the java jar file that openjump consist of. It is not a library, it is an application. It just happen to consist of several .jar files. > > I'm not sure about two (2) things: > > [1] Where do I put the plugins? Do they stay in /user/share/java or do > they go somewhere else?

I've also never made a Debian package of my own. Nothing foolish about the question. But note that /user/ and /usr/ is not the same thing.
