I am looking for the prototypical \'Hello World\' program that creates a Mathematica Notebook file.

I have this working program.

Answer 1

Mathematica notebooks are plaintext files with structures like

Notebook[{Cell[],Cell[]}]

You can work out the required structure by viewing them with a text editor. Assuming you can get Java to create a text file, save it with a .nb file name ending, and invoke the command-line version of Mathematica, then what you want should be doable. You will probably want to set the input cells to initialization type.
