In general, it is not possible to run a shell script in Java. However, you can run the script from Java, provided that the shell is installed on your machine along with the commands mentioned in the shell script.

I take it that you want to run a UNIX shell script on your Windows XP machine. If that is the case, you need to install something like Cygwin.
