So that a person, unknown of the fact that it's an Java script application, can open that app by clicking its icon on maemo device.
JavaScript is meant to be run in a browser. If you just want to be able to launch the app from your desktop, the easiest way would be opening the app in a browser, creating a bookmark and placing that bookmark on the desktop.

If that's not enough, there are basically two options:

1. Rewrite the whole application in another programming language
2. Find out if there is a tool around that's able to compile the JavaScript app to native code.

Both options will require work depending on the size of your code. I'd just stick to running it in a browser.
