Java and JavaScript

I'm on the android track and eclipse uses Java. The second part of the track is teaching me JavaScript. I thought they were different languages. Can someone clear this up for me? Do i have to get something besides eclipse in order to follow the course? thanks for any help.

they are two different languages. The other course on javascript is just an "intro to programming topics" sort of thing. Javascript is not used in android development, its just a good language to start with and to learn core programing principles such as functions, variables, objects etc. I guess you could skip it if youd like since it doesnt really have anything to do with android, but it would help with programming in general
