I had some knowledge of the shell scripting.
I had written my shell scripts for my application.

I want creat a GUI i.e I want to provide some buttons so that the
script will run on clicking that button. Also I have used shell
scripting in Linux. I am not aware of them how to use in Windows. Can
any one elaboarate on this?

How should I create that in Java and which part should I read for
that?

Shell scripting tools are off-topic in a Java group. So only a few
words:

You can get the cygwin environment for Windows, which contains among
many other things a bash if you need Unix compatibility.

Windows until recently did not have any native scripting tools worth
mentioning. cmd/bat is sh.t, WSH is sh.t. Recently Microsoft released
Windows PowerShell. That one has potential, but is of course not
compatible with anything existing.

Try a windows (scripting) group.

Forget Java for this. Depending on your platform look at zenity,
kdialog, dtksh, xmessage, perl/Tk, gtk2-perl, PyQt, wxPython or any
other scriptable GUI tool or toolkit+language integration. Ask in an
appropriate group for details.

Well there is REXX: http://www.rexxla.org

I know it is not native, but there are libraries which allow it to
interact with the Windows environment, such as the registry.
