Why do you use a .java file? (there are plenty good reasons, I am just curious to see your...)

Anyway, Java files are not in the PApplet-derived class, unlike files with .pde extension. So they don't see PApplet methods, ie. all Processing functions!
The classical method is to provide the current PApplet instance to the class you have in the Java file, then call the Processing functions like: papplet.loadImage and such.
