It's exactly the same as the difference when coding in any other language. In other words, a reverse proxy is a reverse proxy no matter what language it's written in, and likewise a forward proxy is a forward proxy no matter what language it's written in.

The very first step should be to find out what a reverse proxy does. Subsequent steps would involve figuring out how to do that with Java code, and writing that Java code.
