It should be noted that the Cocoa-Java bridge is not being deprecated
but rather no new features are being added (e.g. Core Data).
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LanguageIntegration/index.html
Therefore it is perfectly safe at this time to use Java as a back-end
to access databases, etc.

Wow.
That royally sucks.
With Apple's move to the Intel platform and with Oracle touting its
tacit support of OS X
(SQL Developer ported to OS X and "Instant Client"), one would think
Apple would do likewise
in Oracle's direction.
I'm not much of a front-end Java fan. noting the Oracle could do
better with a Cocoa GUI for OS X.
Bonding Cocoa closer to Oracle would open up a cache of significant
possibilities, incorporating
numerous Apple technologies (Spotlight, Inter-Program Notifications,
Widgets, etc.) upon an industrial/
enterprise-size business system (Oracle).
Imagine Oracle Developers within an IT workshop with a few with Macs and
eventually corporate IT users, with a few using Macs; and growing.
I see a win-win for all of us here.
So with Java/Cocoa being deprecated, will Apple's Engineers plan move/
support Objective-C
closer to the IT world a la Oracle?
This would be a fantastic strategic move on Apple's part.
I hailed the Oracle side with this same concern: connecting the Mac
to the Oracle via dylibs.
At present, it's a round-robin approach without any official support
from Apple.
I would do it alone, if I had the smarts, and can avoid the brick
walls along the way.
