Java Script

I keep getting notices about a Java Script update on my Macbook (older model - 2012). Do I still need java script? My iMac does not have Java Script so I am unsure whether to update it or not.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I am getting pop-ups saying this: "To use the 'java' Command-line tool, you need to install a JDK." I read the article suggesting that I install the "latest" version of Java. By following the links provided, I obtained a Java install package, but when I tried to install it, I was informed that a newer version of Java was already install, so the version I had just downloaded cannot be installed. I am on MacOS 10.15.5 How do I get rid of this extremely annoying pop-up? If I follow the link in the pop-up to attempt to fix it, I am taken to a Google Chrome page telling me how to deal with Adobe Flash player. There is no explanation for the relationship between Adobe Flash Player and Java, but I guess it means that Adobe Flash Player requires the JDK to run. Ideas?

Java is not javascript. If you are updating Java make sure you only do so from the official Java website.

Are you sure the notice is about javascript?

It says Java 8 update. I just did a search for "java" on my hard drive and it seems I have several update installers and documents related to java and/or javascript.
