have a look at the Java GUI totorial

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/

you can execute shell scripts using the Runtime.exec() method, e.g. to run the Unix ls command

Runtime systemShell = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process shellOutput = systemShell.exec("ls");
int exitVal = shellOutput.waitFor();
