Java is a Programming Language & JavaScript a Scripting Language.
Programming languages are languages whose instructions are translated (compiled) directly into machine code. Scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted.

Java case is particular, as it's in between compiled and interpreted, called "semi-compiled", as it require to be compiled in a pseudo code to be real time interpreted: not completly compiled in direct understandable instructions for processor, as other "full" compiled languages... This is a gain of efficiency as the script is pre-analyzed and optimized, in a time outside of running time, comparing to "full" interpreted languages ^^
