You may find, as I have, that Xcode is almost unusable for Java. Two
of my recent bugs on the topic include:
4961655 - Xcode shows warning dialog while opening Java project
4961617 - Xcode hangs while editing Java source
I would recommend using Eclipse or another Java-centric product.
That said, Xcode is an excellent environment for C and Objective-C
work, and behaves tolerably well on C++.

Yeah, that works okay. I still think its kind of lame that the help
viewer can't find stuff like that when the compiler can. I almost
never have to type in a fully qualified class name in my code, and
having to do so to help the help viewer find stuff seems pretty weak.
Sorry Apple, I'm not impressed.

Comrades,
It has been bugging me for a while that the Xcode documentation
engine is kind of weak.
One of the main things that bugs me is that some things can be
searched for easily, like "log", which gets a bunch of hits (I'm
looking for the Java Math.log reference), but if I search for
"Math",
I don't get any references to Java at all.
Also, I can't search for "MouseListener" or "EventListener" (or a
bunch of other imterfaces), even though the documentation is in
there. In the case of EventListener I get "EventListenerList", which
has references to EventListener in its entry, so I can get there
that
way.
(By search or find, I mean using the "Find selected text in API
Reference" command.)
Its as though the index to the API reference is incomplete or
damaged. Can it be rebuilt or repaired? How? And, while I'm thinking
of it, how do I update it? Do the Xcode installers do that, or do I
need to do something different?
To find classes/interfaces, you need to give it the fully-qualified
name of the class/interface, for example, "java.util.EventListener".
