Building Frameworks in Java

I am trying to develop a Cocoa program with another developer and my portion is written in Java, his is written in Objective-C. I build all of my stuff with Ant and he builds his in XCode. I have been trying to figure out how to share my code with his, and so far I have encountered the following problems:

1 - I generated header files for my Java classes to help keep things in sync, and I can't figure out how to get those header files into XCode without having to set an explicit search path. My headers are organized into directories that mimic the package structure of the Java classes they document. This is done to create pseudo namespaces to differentiate any classes with the same name. This isn't mandatory, but I would like to keep it that way. The problem is that XCode automatically flattens all the files into one directory so the imports like "com/doodah/Class.h" don't work.

2 - I finally figured out how to include the jar file in the project and the built application. I added the thing as a framework, then under the target settings I told it to merge the contents with the executable.

After futzing with this for a while, I thought that a better option might be to create a framework with all the headers and jar files, but I can't find any documentation on how to do this. I would like to make it as simple as possible for me to relay my Java changes to the other developer.

Has anyone done this before that might have some pointers? I have exhausted all the documentation I know of and I would like to be able to move on to bigger stuff.

Brad.
