That isn't clustering--it's high availability (as your subject tells us you already know). So why search for Linux cluster, when you really want Linux high availability? ;-)

Check out www.linux-ha.org. Set up mon or similar tool so that it can notice a failure of your app and bring up the backup server, and you're golden. No need for LVS, or much of anything else for simple high availability.

I have a project where I have a Java application server running, and I

before, and if one of my machines fails to run my application server,
the cluster starts it up on another node.

Is there anything that can do this in Linux, or maybe something
similar?

I'm sorry to ask this question, I know I should have investigated the
various documentation myself, but when I did a search on "linux
cluster" I just got so many hits that I did not know where to start.
So I thought that you guys maybe could say "yes Linux Virtual Server
can do just that, go for it" or "yes BeoWulf is the place for you" :)
