Anybody know of any book reviewing the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, or a book or service giving help porting applications to OSX. I have read the HIG cover to cover but it is a very dry read , and I have read various articles dealing with mehanics of coverting Windows Java apps to OSX Java apps and I have a Mac in my Living room which I am using alot more. But despite this I still dont really feel that I understand how Mac applications are supposed to work, nor do I get what is so unmaclike about my application (except for the icons which will be getting a facelift). There appears to be a very strong reaction against anything Java by a large minority of the customer base, so much so that Ive really played down the java asssociations - however the application still 'Look like Java'.

Any pointers
