Answer 1

I use this version of JPCAP . The other versions hosted on SourceForge or GitHub jpcap/jpcap are similar, but don't support sending packets (they only capture packets).

Answer 2

Well all of these libraries are just wrappers making native library calls. The main library is libpcap which is written in C. All these libraries like jpcap and jnetpcap just use libpcap underneath. I have used both jpcap and jnetpcap and through personal experience i would suggest that you use jnetpcap as it is much easier to use, has a good documentation with examples and it has a recently updated version. You can download it from http://jnetpcap.com
