It sounds like you’re writing or modifying a web browser written in Java, that doesn’t have a JavaScript interpreter feature yet. If so, then Rhino is probably the easiest thing to use to add it.

There are lots of examples of how to use it on the Mozilla Rhino examples page. Rhino is pretty easy to invoke, as this example demonstrates:

public class RunScript {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creates and enters a Context. The Context stores information
        // about the execution environment of a script.
        Context cx = Context.enter();
        try {
            // Initialize the standard objects (Object, Function, etc.)
            // This must be done before scripts can be executed. Returns
            // a scope object that we use in later calls.
            Scriptable scope = cx.initStandardObjects();

            // Collect the arguments into a single string.
            String s = "";
            for (int i=0; i < args.length; i++) {
                s += args[i];
            }

            // Now evaluate the string we've colected.
            Object result = cx.evaluateString(scope, s, "<cmd>", 1, null);

            // Convert the result to a string and print it.
            System.err.println(Context.toString(result));

        } finally {
            // Exit from the context.
            Context.exit();
        }
    }
}

So when setting up to execute JavaScript included in a web page, you’d add the various environment objects (document and such) to the scope object, and then use evaluateString to evaluate it.

This is going to be a significantly non-trivial task. If you’re still new to Java, I’d recommend starting with something smaller.
