Unable to pass send command in shell script

I am trying to automate a testcase . I am installing some software and it waits for user input after displaying "Do you want to continue [Y/n]? " I am trying to do this in shell scripting.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
/usr/bin/expect << EOF
spawn apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
expect "*Do you want to continue*"
send  "Y\r"
EOF
echo "hello"

In above code after spawn caommand executed it is waiting for expect. Once the expect is recieved i need to press enter but it skips that steps and printing echo.

Can anyone suggest me how to do this?
Thanks
Navaz

GZEXE(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     GZEXE(1)

NAME
gzexe - compress executable files in place SYNOPSIS
gzexe name ... DESCRIPTION
The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``gzexe /usr/bin/gdb'' it will create the following two files: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1026675 Jun 7 13:53 /usr/bin/gdb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2304524 May 30 13:02 /usr/bin/gdb~ /usr/bin/gdb~ is the original file and /usr/bin/gdb is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /usr/bin/gdb~ once you are sure that /usr/bin/gdb works properly. This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks. OPTIONS
-d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them. SEE ALSO
gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1) CAVEATS
The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the PATH environment variable to find gzip and some standard utilities (basename, chmod, ln, mkdir, mktemp, rm, sleep, and tail). BUGS
gzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in some cases, using chmod or chown. GZEXE(1)
