Can Project Builder be used to build "plain" Java apps (Not cocoa)? I just need the IDE to provide a compiler and package my classes for me. Is that possible?

------------------

It sure can.

Just create a "Java" project (not Cocoa or Java-Cocoa), code like normal, and compile. Not only will it make you a .jar file, it will also create a double-clickable icon so your app can be run effortlessly on OS X. It will not, however, alter the code in any Mac-specific way.

The only downside is Java projects cannot use Interface Builder. But then again, writing Swing interface code isn't hard, it's just annoying.

Thanks Pants, I will give that a try. Any tips on where to find documentation, such as how do I modify the classpath?

Hi, does anyone do servlet/JSP coding in OSX??? I can't find anything related to servlet/JSP in OSX's file system...
