You could create a shell script and run it with Terminal.

For example: 

#!/bin/sh
java -jar path/to/jar/file.jar

To run it you need to set up the right user permission, so do chmod u+x script-name then run with ./script-name

Batch files are Windows-only. However it should be easy to convert that batch file to a unix shell script. You find a guide on how to use shell scripts on https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/opensource/conceptual/shellscripting/Introduction/Introduction.html

You can't run a batch file, but you can run a shell script which is the equivalent on unix based systems.

Like the batch file, the shell script is also platform specific, but should work on Unix and Linux based systems.

You have to create a shell script on MAC OS to get the same result as with a batch file on Windows.

A shell script could look like this:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/java/jre-7x/bin/java -jar /your/path/to/jar-file

Please note that the path to the java executable depends on your java installation directory.

you CAN'T , because its language specific.

you need to write shell script (or manually matching the windows commands with unix/mac os x commands)
