Dietary Customs of Jains



I am interested in the dietary customs of followers of Jainism.  I will be 
hosting Jains in the near future.  As a follower of the dietary customs of 
Judiasm, I am sensitive to making guests of other religions feel comfortable.
I would appreciate a response to the following querstions :

Do Jains eat eggs? dairy products? fish?
Is it important that eating utensils and plates never had contact with meat?
Are there any other customs (non-dietary) that I should be aware of in order 
to make my guests feel comfortable?

Thank you
