It's Java, not JavaScript, though of course there are similarities.

The easiest way to try it out is to install the Tomcat server from 
java.sun.com; you can also use Tomcat in conjunction with Apache.
Binaries for Windows are available for both, and installing is a 
pretty straightforward process.

One great thing about JSP is portability: I run Apache/Tomcat on an 
old 96Mb Pentium Pro running Win2K as one of my development machines; 
when I'm done, I copy the files over to a Sun server running Solaris
with iPlanet Enterprise Web Server - and away we go. Other than file
path differences (and I switch based on hostname), no coding changes 
required.

YMMV!
