Obj-C vs Java

Hi

I was reading in the Java Dev List about Cocoa-Java development. Some people where very harsh on Java, while others on Obj-C. I don't know Obj-C (I have 2 years experience in Java) but I like to know the differences so I can make a balanced decision about the primary language I am going to use for OS X dev. I like the idea of Cocoa-Java though (because I have already Java experience).

- is Obj-C a better OO language than Java?
- which language is more powerful?
- which language is faster to develop? (Java, because of less debugging with memory leaks???)
- what are the special down sides of Java and Obj-C?
- what are the main pitfalls in accessing the Cocoa framework from Java (thus to make a Cocoa-Java Application)?

Thanks in advance for your response!
