How to start a Java project in Xcode?
I think what you want is a "JNI Library" project, which has the description "This project builds a Java JNI library with a bundled application wrapper." In Xcode 3.2, this project template can be found under Mac OS X > Framework & Library > JNI Library.
(Edit: This is what Apple officially recommends, too. See this document.)
- Open Xcode 3.2.
- Show the Organizer window (Window->Organizer).
- Click the '+' button in the lower left corner of the Organizer window.
- Choose "New From Template"->"Java Templates"->"Java Application"
Xcode relies on Ant to build Java projects, so you can edit your code in the organizer window or use whatever IDE or editor you wish. Then just open a terminal window, change to the folder's project, and execute ant.
