Compile .java file in xcode

I am new to programming in java and can only make simple programs in the console. I do this with a .java file, and then compiling it and running the .class file. On windows, I simply use javac.exe and java.exe. On the mac, how can I compile a .java file and run it with xcode.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Why not get BlueJ? It's free, and meant for editing (and compiling. and writing) java.
