Thanks for all the help, but unfortunately it didn't work.
see i have created a package using package maker, inside package maker i am calling shell scripts.
so after installing the package/application(flex application .dmg file + resources) i am creating an alias
on desktop. Now when i double click that icon it opens a terminal window then my application. According
to my understanding this terminal is executing my application. So, i want to completely hide this terminal.
This terminal remains on desktop, the following code is helping me to minimize it
tell application "Finder/System Events"
set visible of process "Terminal" to false
end tell
(My application is a flex application written in AS3, so i call this code from AS3 code
i.e on application launch)
But i don't want it in the dock also, i want it to hide completely.

Be careful with do shell script. Some users, like me, try to run everything as a subprocess of a terminal session. The reason why is to preserve environment changes that are carried out in a shell initialization script.
environment.plist doesn't seem to be very stable with newer versions of OSX. For me that is about 10.4
Do shell script honors only the environment set by the system without any user sign on.
