well, NetScape actually provides support for both Java and JavaScript. 
JavaScript support is built into the interpreter that processes the web 
page (since JavaScript is embedded in the HTML code). Netscape also 
installs it's own Java Virtual Machine, which interprets and executes 
Java code in real time. Think of it as Mac Runtime for Java (MRJ) 
embedded in Netscape. It lives in the Essential Files:Java folder inside 
the Netscape folder.
