running JavaScript from Java?

Question

very new to coding and decided to start a project of mine. I watched a video on how to get it set up and started but after tinkering with it a little, I realized it was Java, not JavaScript. (Hey, i'm a noob at this) and I wanted an easier way to implement new things. this is what my main script looks like.

public void onMessage(String Message){
if(message.equals("Apples"){
sendMessage("You said apples!")}
else { 
if(message.equals("Oranges" //any text 
){
    sendMessage("you said Oranges and" //what they put for any text
)
 ...

Is there a way to take the bit that says Oranges and replace it by calling a JS function from another file?

Answer 1

Java and javascript are two completely different things. Java is a full programming language while Javascript is used to make websites dynamic , so it works inside a webbrowser. You should figure what you want and make a choice.

Answer 2

As others said, you need to figure out what you want.

Nevertheless, it is possible to run Javascript in java. Check javax.script package and check the docs: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/programmer_guide/index.html#evalfile
