First of all, the Java Virtual Machine is not required for JavaScript to work -- the two are completely different animals. I don't know how to get Java working, but JavaScript works fine in konqueror on my system. However, there is a caveat with regard to JavaScript: both konqueror and Mozilla (and Netscape 6, and Opera) are quite strict with the EcmaScript/JavaScript standard. What this means is, there are a LOT of websites out there that still won't work in any of these browsers. If you are doing any DHTML, for example, you will need to properly re-write your scripts to be compatible with Netscape 4.x, IE 4+, and konqueror/Mozilla/Netscape 6/Opera. Dreamweaver (and all the rest of the WYSIWYG tools) can't do it for you ... yet. Those tools, with their canned scripts, only recognize IE 4+ and Netscape 4.x, and make use of the non-standard HTML and JavaScript extensions of both browsers.
