can this be done with java?

[pcs800]

or should i use plain html?

how would i create a link that takes a user to a site that uses frames, and display a certain page in a certain frame?

for example:
a user see's one of my doorway pages on a search engine, and clicks the following link.
"click here for coffee cups" takes a user to www.whateversite.com and displays coffecups.htm in the content frame.

Is this possible?

You should use neither Java nor JavaScript. Both are eschewed by about 13% of users. Make a new frameset and if you have too many links then generate the framesets on demand with some server side script.
