Sherm,

And yes, the whole deal with header files can be a PITA at first, if you've got a Java background. Doing away with that sort of thing is one of the few things Java got right, IMHO.

Quite the opposite, I'd say. In my opinion, headers are just sort of formalized API documentation, and work excellently for me that way (and "for me" here means both working as part of and leading teams which made projects up to almost a million ObjC lines).

Actually, I do lack this in Java: unless I bother to prepare a real documentation (which is, for plain internal things normally worth just a one-line comment, pretty superfluous), there is nothing in Java which could provide anything comparable to the quick reference to the semi-forgotten API which headers very nicely do in (Obj)C.

Agreeably, this may well be a matter of taste, so please consider it just my tuppence worth ;)
