Hi,

actually you can request static maps using the Map Image API
(http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/) and also geocode addresses using the
Geocoding API (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html) in Java or
any other language.

For directions you could either use the Virtual Earth SDK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966826.aspx), the MapQuest API
(http://developer.mapquest.com/downloads , take a look at the samples) or the
Cloud Made API (http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/routing-http-api).

Have fun,
Tobias
