Joe, Well, the first thing that irked me was the fact that the board needs a USB driver installed, or OSX won't even recognize the board's presence. This was documented nowhere. I had to hunt it down myself.
No problems with Java here. The IDE launches fine and I can load source files into it. It just couldn't compile the clock sample out of the box. It could never find the first ADK include. It's been a while, so I don't remember those details off the top of my head. I did have the board selected in the menu, but I can't imagine that would make much of a difference because the IDE is special for that board. On the ADK web site there is installation step which made no sense to me: Copy the <adk-source-download>/adk2012/board/library/ADK2 directory and its contents into your sketchbook/libraries/ directory, so that you create a sketchbook/libraries/ADK2 directory. I didn't see anything at all about a sketchbook/libraries directory in the real world. I'm assuming this step was meant to get the ADK libs into a place where they will be used by the clock demo or whatever program you're writing. I tried to make up a bunch of possible locations to put these files, but no dice. Maybe they are assuming the reader has prior Arduino experience, which I do not. I was eventually able to get the clock demo to compile, but after deployment it locked up the hardware. I think it wasn't actually building the ADK libs with the sample code. So I switched to the command line tools. On the command line (using the git source repo), when trying to build and deploy it told me I needed "bossac" and gave me a url to find it. So I went and got it, but the OSX exe never once recognized the board. The bossac exe that comes with the IDE does work, however, so I wedged that one into the command line build process. The command line build still had troubles finding the ADK headers and sourced needed to build, so I had to copy all those manually into the clock demo source tree, then I was finally able to build and deploy. I'm on OSX Lion on a Mac Mini if that makes any difference.
