My experience writing Java Code has all been through the Java 1, 2, and 3 classes at NCSU, where initially I used only Notepad and grew into Eclipse. However I can't get the simplest of simple programs to run.

public class HelloWorld {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
       System.out.println("Hello Life Outside the Mac!");
   }

}

I dont know anything about xcode but you might want to see if it has a console output window somewhere.

What type of java project are you using?

Choose New Project, and choose "Java Tool"

Click the "Run" menu, choose "console" (or press command-shift-r).

THen click the build and run button, and voila, you have your IDE.

I chose "Java Application" instead of "Java Tool" is that the difference?

When attempting a Java Tool it displays

Hello World

Hello Life Outside the Mac!
