JavaScript (an implementation of EcmaScript) has different semantics than Java, it is not a subset and so it would break all sorts of backwards compatibility (and lose some functionality) to act as if it is a subset of Java.
Basically, the languages are not directly related so it is not possible, and mostly comes up from a naming confusion.
