The short answer is no. They both have "Java" in their names, but are otherwise completely different.

The longer answer is that JavaScript is an untyped, web-based client-side scripting language, whereas Java is a JIT-compiled, typed, and multi-platform language. While Java does have web applications (applets, etc.), the two languages fulfill very different functions.
