javac compiles your code, while java runs the compiled code, in eclipse the play button is just a shortcut that performs both of these function for you automatically.

No, sadly there isn't. It certainly wouldn't be impossible for Treehouse to implement a similar build & Run function in their Java workspaces, but that is not a feature they currently offer.
