You are probably referring to DBA studio or Oracle Enterprise Manager as it used to be called.
OEM needs a repository because OEM can be used to monitor multiple databases, the configuration of those databases must be stored somewhere. Recommended: In a separate small database, or you will get the chicken and egg problem : if you are running OEM in a production database, you won't be able to shutdown that database by means of OEM, as you will kill OEM.

As to the JAVA class problem: the most likely source is an incorrect CLASSPATH, or you are using a lower version service pack than OEM can handle

As to the import problem: of course there is always good old imp.exe which can be run from a command window.
With DBA studio, you can't run Data Manager indepedently, in previous versions you could, but as said: good old imp will work.

For DBA studio to run net8 should have been configured as DBA studio requires the Oracle Intelligent Agent to run. In future posts, could you please include *exact* error messages.
