I know that this question has been floating around for ages now ...
Java in Xcode 4.
I don't need any recommendations (Eclipse, Netbeans e.g.) I just want to compile some simple Java Code in "XCode4" (not 3). I managed to create a File and as expected the syntax and everything works but the Compiler due to the missing Scheme. I am kinda stuck at the executable.
My Question is:
Is it possible to do that?
Is it possible to do that?
YES this is possible.
1) File > New > New Project > Other > External Build System
2) Give it some name and save it somewhere.
3) File > New > New File > Other > Empty
4) Give it a Java-friendly name. In my example, use "HelloWorld.java"
5) Copy the contents below into the file and save.
6) File > New > New File > Other > Empty
7) Save as "Makefile".
8) Copy the contents below into the file and save.
9) The "Run" (>) button should at least compile your Java now.
Now it gets tricky. You don't have to do the next part. You could just open a Terminal to your project directory and run "java HelloWorld" if you want. I strongly suggest that. You can also just type "make" and use Xcode purely as a text editor.
9) Project > Edit Scheme > Debug > Info
10) Executable > Other > type ^⌘g > type "/bin" > choose "sh"
11) Arguments
12) Set "Base Expansion on" whatever you named your target
13) Add an argument '-c "/usr/bin/java -classpath $(PROJECT_DIR) HelloWorld"' for this example.
14) Cross your fingers
15) Click the "Run" (>) button.
