I am writing an application using Java and I want to send it to the customer. But he doesn’t have Java on his computer (OS Win XP). I want to automate the installation using command shell scripting. Is it possible?

There is a
/soption in JRE installer (see here), so basically you can.However, you will have to somehow download JRE to client’s workstation. I suggest using wget for this.
However, you can also use java-to-exe wrappers – JSmooth for example can automagically download JRE for you if it is not installed.
