I don't understand either.  To say Java has nothing to do with JavaScript is
like saying a C program has nothing to do with a C compiler, or that a Basic
program has nothing to do with a Basic Interpreter, or that a DOS batch
program has nothing to do with the command interpreter (COMMAND.COM with most
DOS versions).  I cannot visualize the relationship between JavaScript and
Java in any other way.  Certainly there must be some kind of relationship.
