Java
Used for APPLICATIONS and APPLETS (little grey programs that run inside your browser). It requires either the MS Virtual Machine or the Sun version which is newer.

Example: Azureus : Java BitTorrent Client


Javascript
Used for webpages to make them interactive like validating forms or making popups

Example : the new post button above

For more details....
