titleXcode

If you install Xcode after installing the Apple provided Java for Mac OS X, you will have to re-install the same Java for Mac OS X or a later developer preview to correct headers in the JavaRuntimeSupport framework. This issue is expected to be resolved in a future release of Xcode.

As of Xcode version 4.3 you have to manually install the Command Line Tools. This package is no more included by default. (Start command line compilers and tools. Start Xcode, open preferencesPreferences, open choose the Downloads tab Downloads , and there install the missing component.)then install "Command Line Tools".
