mmc -C hello_world.m --grade java

The command above should have generated the Java file before
reporting an error.

For C 
mmc -C hello_world.m

For IL (.NET)
mmc -C --grade il hello_world.m

Compiling for Aditi isn't as simple as just setting compile
options. The execution algorithm is completely different, and
code needs to be written specifically for that execution
algorithm. See the "Aditi deductive databasee interface" section
of the "Implementation-dependent extensions" chapter of the
Mercury Language Reference Manual for details. I'd strongly
recommend you leave Aditi alone until you understand Mercury
better.
