Converting a Windows intended batch to an OSX one

I created this batch file on Windows:

del /s *.class
javac com\company\bot\client\*.java
javac com\company\bot\server\Main.java

start cmd /k Call runServer.bat 
start cmd /k Call runClient.bat
start cmd /k Call runMyClient.bat

Which does the job on Windows, now I want to execute the same batch file on a OSX terminal, but I get the following errors:

 maasbommel:BotProgram pmeijer$ ./test.bat
./test.bat: line 1: del: command not found
javac: invalid flag: comcompanybotclient*.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
javac: invalid flag: comcompanybotserverMain.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
: command not found 
./test.bat: line 5: start: command not found
./test.bat: line 6: start: command not found
./test.bat: line 7: start: command not found

Which kind of makes sense since there is no del command nor cmd in OSX.

So my question is how to convert this properly? I searched the internet for this problem but can not find anything useful. I hope someone can explain the concept to me.

Greetz,

Eventually solved this by using IntelliJ's run configurations. Thanks for the answers anyway.

You might use ant, which actually is a build tool like make but cross-platform (XML). This way you have a cross-platform "batch" command processor.

Paying the overhead of needing to install ant.

An overview of available ant tasks. An ant file would look like:

<project name="MyProject" default="run" basedir=".">
    <description>
        simple example build file
    </description>
    <property name="src" location="src"/>
    <property name="build" location="build"/>

  <target name="init">
    <tstamp/>
    <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source " >
    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="clean" description="clean up" >
    <delete dir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="run" depends="compile, clean" description="run all" >
     <java dir="${exec.dir}" jar="${exec.dir}/dist/test.jar"
         fork="true" failonerror="true" maxmemory="128m">
       <arg value="-h"/>
       <classpath>
         <pathelement location="dist/test.jar"/>
         <pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
       </classpath>
     </java>
  </target>
</project>

Running by ant tasks exec or java.
