I don't think OO is the best tool for the job. The problem specification

problem description almost directly into a procedural (i.e. non-OO)
program.

So what is the point of using Java if you aren't going
to employ OO techniques?
Simply because it can be done? ;-)
Many programming classes, "focusing" on different languages, are overlapping
in terms of fundamental algorithmic thinking.
This type of excercise is useful regardless of which programming language
that is taught.
What many classes (teachers) usually miss, is to point out the differences
between different solutions; how different languages and programming
paradigms connect to each other, and the consequences of that.
