I might mention that the JNIDirect package I use includes some of the functionality that Cocoa/Java gave you except based on compiled on- the-fly JNI.
Much less complete than what Apple distributed, or of course as of 10.4 still distributes, but extensible. 57 java sources supported by 6 struct wrappers currently off of the ns package so not completely trivial current support but that is a long ways from complete support.
Code generator functionality along the lines of the old-school JDirect stuff could be developed for some of it possibly.
Other things could be done with it as a project as well if interest were there.
What gets worked on and to what extent depends on areas people indicate are of real or imagined interest or they just depend on my own occasionally wandering interests. If you have any curiosity let me know.
