When you export a variable in a script, it is placed into the environment, but is 'visible' only to that script and any processes that the script invokes. Environment variables don't/cannot perk back up to the parent process. If you are indeed invoking java.sh this is what is happening.
By sourcing the file, you are executing the commands in java.sh as though they existed in the current file, .bashrc in this case. This has the effect of setting the environment variables for the current shell as you desire.
