I suggest you compile using Windows and use the files ready to install in your Linux server.

Yeah i did it on Ubuntu 18.04 with Classic Interlude version (https://bitbucket.org/MobiusDev/l2j_mobius/src/master/L2J_Mobius_Classic_Interlude/). Ill give you a list of videos with the basic knowledge, sadly are in spanish but you can follow the steps.
Hope you have experience in Linux

Some of information is better than nothing.

What distro would be a nice fit for the server?

Just use one you're familiar with. If you value security over ease of use, an up to date CentOS with a long term support it's the way to go. Debian is also a good choice if you're already familiar with Ubuntu.

Also, you can compile directly during deployment without Eclipse, using JDK + Apache Ant. It is very useful when you are using Github Actions/Gitlab CI and want to compile it before the deployment, passing then the built artifacts to the continuous delivery integration.

If you're new to all this DevOps stuff, just do what reynalDev said. Compile it on Eclipse and upload the server manually.

I recommend to use 100% Ubuntu... very stable and secure. Easy to configure (if you know how) and the most secure distro I ever seen).
Don't use CentOS for gaming servers (CentOS is good for Web servers but I don't recommend also).

Ubuntu or Debian for gaming servers. (Also you can use what Linux you want but why to reinvent the wheel?) Using the most popular distro is the best way. I'm using L2jserver and not only even WoW TC 335 on Ubuntu from years without any incident.
