Java An object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems and designed to be small, simple, and portable across platforms and operating systems. It is best known for its applets, dynamic, interactive programs that can run inside a World Wide Web page displayed by a Java-capable browser. The origins of the name 'Java' are explained as: 'It survived the trademark search.'
JavaScript A scripting language developed by Netscape to enable Web authors to design interactive sites. Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently. JavaScript can interact with HTML source code, enabling Web authors to add dynamic content to their sites. It is supported by most browsers, although Internet Explorer supports only a subset, which Microsoft calls Jscript.

JHF Japan Hadron Facility
JHP Japan Hadron Project. Proposed multi-instrument facility to be built at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. Plans call for a 50 GeV proton synchrotron ring with a diameter of 1500m and a beamcurrent of 10 micro-ampere, a 200 MeV linear accelerator, and a 3 GeV booster ring. Completion was originally anticipated by 2002, at a cost of about $750 million.
