Re: Leopard versions of NSArray and NSSpeechSynthesizer Java classes

At Leopard a considerable amount of deprecation has happened to Apple's NSArray and NSSpeechSynthesizer classes. I would really like to see the Javadoc for these classes to understand things.

If you want to use a speech-synthesizer from Java, I wrote Humble Narrator some time ago, and it will use NSSpeechSynthesizer if it's available:
<http://amug.org/~glguerin/sw/index.html#narrator>

If NSSpeechSynthesizer isn't available, it falls back to exec'ing the '/usr/bin/say' command, or before that command existed, the AppleScript 'say' verb.

Even if you don't use Humble Narrator as-is, it's an example you can pattern your own code after, and it does appear to run NSSpeechSynthesizer properly under Leopard.
