For the fun of it, I played around with Java/Cocoa.
I haven't used a book, but used Apple online documentation exclusively,
starting with the simple java cocoa example to the document-based app
example, and on my own from there on.
I've encountered a few Java-specific bugs in Cocoa, the most notable for me
is the NSFormatter classes, which are useless in Java. Reading the list, I'm
sure there are more of these problems.
So far, I was able to work around most problems using the cocoa-dev and the
java-dev mailing lists. It is always a problem which lists to choose:
cocoa-dev seems very Objective-C focussed, and most problem you encounter
are Java specific. The java-dev is slightly less crowded, and mostly
discusses non-cocoa issues (like the Eclipse IDE). However, when searching
the online archives, I have found that most useful answer come from java-dev
instead of cocoa-dev (I expected it to be the other way around). So when I
have I problem, I typically cross-post, and specifically ask follow-ups to
be posted to one of the two lists. This is not ideal, but it works. It helps
me for spotting these type of problem if people mark their subjects with
either "java" or "objc" on cocoa-dev, or "cocoa" on java-dev to distinguish
from generic problems.
If you every find a good book about *Cocoa Java* programming, please let me
know -- I'm interested.

Freek
