I never understood why Apple stopped supporting the Java bridge to Cocoa.


Two reasons: First, not enough people were using it to make it cost- effective to maintain, and second, it was sucking up a lot of development time when new classes were added to the frameworks. Java's fundamental deficiencies make it far more difficult to bridge than Ruby and Python.

The Java bridge came into existence for political reasons, and those political reasons have become moot.
