Java and JavaScript are two entirely different things.
http://www.thefrontside.net/blog/learning_javascri... has a guide to using JavaScript on the command line.
If you have installed the Java Runtime Environment, then you will have a Java executable that will execute programs written in Java and compiled to class files (which may be packaged inside jar archives).
java -jar myProgram.jar
With the Java SDK you can write Java programs and then compile them.

If you write a class with a "public static void main" method and compile it, you can run it as the target of the java command line executable.
For example, you write "MyClass.java" and compile it using javac into "MyClass.class". Then, you can run it on the command prompt like "java MyClass" and it'll execute whatever the class has been programmed to do.
Make sense?
