Funny you mention this.

After using PowerPlant and Swing for so long, I've gotten quite used to
being able to trace right into my class library in the debugger. Not to
mention kicking back and reading the source code to provide the final
authority on how things work.

Now that I'm learning Cocoa, it annoys me a bit NOT to have the sources
there to inspect.

I hope one day Apple will either decide to open source Cocoa or at least
license the source to developers to use during development.
