Other than a few syntactical similarities (both languages borrow heavily from C syntax) Java and JavaScript are completely different technologies. The similarity in their names was a marketing ploy by JavaScripts creators to try and ride the coat-tails of Java, which was the hot new language when JavaScript was created.
Core Java refers to the core set of classes available in the Java programming language. (Essentially, the most important classes that a programmer can count of being available no matter what.)
Java is a class-based object oriented, computer programming language created by Sun Microsystems and currently owned by Oracle. It is a full featured, compiled programming language. It's used to create all kinds of software, but the key point here is that it is turned into byte-code by the Java Virtual Machine before it is run on the computer. By default, Java has access to everything on the machine. It can make changes to the OS, write files, access the network--you name it.
JavaScript is a proto-type based object oriented scripting language that was invented by Netscape in the mid 1990s. It's used to add dynamic functionality to web pages. As a scripted language, JavaScript is not compiled. Rather, its source code is sent as text to the browser, which then parses the file and acts accordingly. JavaScript is extremely constrained, due to security concerns, and cannot access your hard-drive, with the exception of a few, very limited locations.
Java or Java SE comes with the standard library, with all the crazy classes to make life easy. Java Core does not come with most of these classes, so that it is a lot smaller.
AWT is a Java package for creating graphical user interfaces. JavaScript is a completely unrelated programming language.
Core java consists of basics of java language (OOP, Threading, Exceptions, Collections, Annotations, Internationalization etc) along with other technologies like JDBC, Servlets. Advanced java is the next step of core java. This consists of JSP, EJB, Beans etc.
It would be harder to describe the similarity between JavaScript and XML. These two languages are for entirely different purposes.
Java script
You could probably watch some tutorials on youtube, or buy a book on core java script.

vbscript is used for server side as well as client side where as java script is used for client side only.

The main difference between ASP and JSP is that JSP is more script like and includes Java, whereas ASP does not. Both of these are server side languages.
When most computer users think of Java, what they are really thinking of is Java core, which is the standard edition that is used in most basic computer applications. The term Java in and of itself is a more broad term that can cover both the standard edition and more advanced applications.
JavaScript is just like VB Script, but VB Script is what windows made to try to get rid of JavaScript, but as you can see im sure JavaSript is the winner. They are the same thing pretty much just a little alterations in the code.
Java script
No, Java script is not needed to play poptropica.
They are different versions. Java 5 is newer than Java 2. Think of it like the difference between the Playstation 1 and the Playstation 3.
