Java is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language created by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems. JavaScript was created by the fine people at Netscape. JavaScript is a distant cousin of Java. It is also an OOP language. Many of their programming structures are similar. However, JavaScript contains a much smaller and simpler set of commands than does Java. It is easier for the average weekend warrior to understand.

Java is run on server and JavaScript in browser.

Also you can create Java based programs to run on a client PC/console (e.g. a cellphone) as well, it's a program that's ready to run while JavaScript is ran every time you access a certain web page that has it and is ran from your browser each time it is activated
