How portable is a Cocoa-java based application?? Is it possible to only
have MacOS X for handhelds with only Cocoa (java) Apps? Imagine a Newton
with MacOS X running Cocoa (java) only apps and also those apps running
in the complete Desktop MacOS X...
... well, back to reality...
if Java is used in Cocoa is not portable isn't? We don't have Cocoa
classes in windows, how portable is that? why not compiled to native
code?

Just a little side issue but I was curious.
When Java apps are developed for Cocoa, do they get compiled fully or
left as byte-code to run on a vm or (shock!) are they JIT? Knowing
that cocoa/java is OSX only, it would make sense to fully compile the
code - like in any other language. If this is the case, what is the
runtime speed like? I've only had the (dubious) pleasure of using
byte-code compiled stuff on solaris machines.
It uses a VM. There may be a JIT either in place or in the works (in
seeding), but Java does not get compiled down to native code. That
would make it only as portable as, say, C code...8-)
