Windows executables don't run natively on Linux platform. You can try to execute them with wine once you have shared the JDK directory of Windows with the Virtual Machine, but that'd again require you to install wine on the Ubuntu VM, so why not install the OpenJDK from Ubuntu Software centre or the Oracle's JDK for Linux instead in Ubuntu?
