    Java Console has a very small footprint on your desktop and does not need any SERVER entry on the master server. You login with a user name of administrator on the master server.

    Admin Console installs NBU server software on your desktop and needs a SERVER entry on the master server. This software has the advantage that you can run commands/scripts on your desktop that is not possible with Java software.

    I have both installed on my laptop. 
    I prefer to use Java Console to manage Unix/Linux master server, but being able to run NBU commands on my desktop is extremely handy.
    Java Console also enables me to manage various customer environments without needing SERVER entries for my laptop.

It part of the NBU server installation cd/ iso When you run the installer, you have the option to just install the Java console. You then down load the .x.x patch from the usual NBU downloads.
