I am not familiar with all of the APIs, but you should be able to create 
your own Java class to handle the login dialog.  Search on 
http://developer.mozilla.org.  Any examples will be in C++ or 
JavaScript, but it should be easy to port to Java.

Yes, should be able to.  As I mentioned, check that website for the APIs 
to download using Mozilla.

Or, since you are in Java, you can just create a URL class using the 
link location, then just open a stream and write the contents to your 
download location.
