Java is not equal in any way with JavaScript.  The only thing they share
are semicolons and braces.  Naming EMCAScript JavaScript was a very
unfortunate thing indeed.

For the record, JavaScript is what they call a "prototype-based
language."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming.
You can emulate an OOP system with a prototype-based language.

I highly recommend you read a book on formal programming language theory
and concepts.
