This should work better:

	cd ${PATH_TO_JAVA}/BIN
	wine java.exe

because a shell variable name can't contain '/'. However, if your
program is pure Java, i.e. doesn't use Windows code run via JNI and so
doesn't break the WORA[1] contract, why aren't you running it under a
native Linux JVM? 

[1] WORA = "Write Once, Run Anywhere" which states that any program
written in Java without using OS-specific code extensions will run
correctly in any certified JVM on any supported operating system.
