Well, with geotools you can use the shapefile datastore to read the
shapefile, and the postgis datastore to both create the table and
copy the contents.

The tricky part is that DataStore.createSchema() is not that well 
tested, so you may stumble upon bugs (such as certain data types not
being supported or buggy). Patches for these cases graciously accepted :)

Cheers
