How do I use packages I created in java in javascript?

Question

I've got a package login that has a few classes inside of it...I thought my code would look like this:

importPackage(login);
var password = document.form1.pword.value;
var hash = JPP7.toHash(password);

where JPP7 is the class of mine that does the hashing? I am using a colleagues javascript code, but I know next to nothing about javascript. Am I going to have to give an absolute path to the package folder?

Umm, you can't (easily) use Java code in Javascript. Despite the similarity in their names, they are very different and are incompatible with each other. — Andrew Marshall, Apr 10 '12 at 01:47
If you willing to write a converter from `Java` to `JavaScript`, that would be very nice! — Nemoden, Apr 10 '12 at 01:49
but really, without sarcasm... you can not use `java` packages in `javascript` — Nemoden, Apr 10 '12 at 01:49
Why the down vote on this question? A lack of knowledge doesn't constitute a detrimental question to Stack Overflow. — Tom, Apr 10 '12 at 01:50
thats so awkward. I totally thought this was a thing. Well, thanks! — SetSlapShot, Apr 10 '12 at 01:50

You cannot (at least not easily nor out-of-the-box) use Java code in Javascript. Despite the similarity in their names, they are very different and are incompatible with each other. See also What's the difference between Javascript and Java?.

There was once an implementation of the JVM in Javascript, but it seems to now be dead. I wouldn't have recommended using it in any sort of production code anyway.

@Raynos Well perhaps you should provide a link to it? – Andrew Marshall Apr 10 '12 at 02:19
