OK, this sound like a virtuous thing to do. On the Project menu of
Xcode is an item: "Upgrade all Targets in Project to Native."
Ah. this should be easy.
But when I select that item, I see an alert message that says, in
part:
"Java is presently supported by native targets, so you should not
upgrade projects with targets containing Java."
Here is a classic double bind. I am forbidden to do what I am told
I ought to do. Which of these messages should I heed?
Should I simply replace my old projects with new ones?
Jam is now supported by External Build System targets that use the
ant command-line tools. We find that most people who build large
Java projects do so for cross-platform code, and having a separate
build system for Xcode was burdensome for them and us.
Create a new Java target with New Target, point it at your sources,
and delete the old Jam target.

Thanks, Chris, for a quick and helpful reply.
I have done some experiments, and it seems that I can set up a new
Java project, but I can't find any way to add a Java target to an
existing project. The "New Target" menu item gives me a selection of
templates; in the "Other" group I find "External Target" which seems
to be the nearest thing to what I am looking for.
Have I misunderstood the UI of Xcode (not for the first time!), or is
this a place for an enhancement?
