Java is a programming language which uses a virtual machine to run code. Its most often used in phone apps. Javascript is a scripting language most often implemented on browsers to render client side programming logic. You can find it on nearly every website. Java and Javascript are unrelated, they only share a name. Javascript used Java's name to make itself more popular. JQuery is a framework to store data, utilized by Javascript. ECMAScript seems to just be a standardization of Javascript. So that different browsers don't execute it differently. I could be wrong on this one.
