Hi Siva
Welcome to the fascinating world of NetWeaver. To answer your first question, EP and XI are two different layers in the NetWeaver Arcihtecture designned to address totally different requirements.
While EP serves as the front end providing a single point of access to SAP and Non-SAP information resources, XI helps you integrate applications from multiple systems.
Both are important areas on their own and will be implemented based upon which one the project demands.
As for your second question the Java language is exploited to the maximum in EP though XI demends a basic knowledge of core Java as well as ABAP.
Check out this link on SAP's documentation site for further information on NetWeaver's architecture

Hope that helped
