Beginner's questions

Hi,

I am just starting on the Objective C subject and even more (if possible) on
the Cocoa Framework. I have a Java background (and, in a distant past, C and
C++ knowledge but it really seems so long ago that I won't mention it...).

I have, after reading "Object Oriented Programming and the Objective C
Language", a few basic questions (probably because I try to link Obj C with
my java skills ???).

Q) What about abstract class (in the java meaning of abstract class) ?
A) I've seen the previous answer and ok but it's still too bad...

Q) Is there anything like a private, protected, public method in Objective
C. I know that we speak of message and not of method but still, it would be
nice to restrict the availability of messages considering their scope (am I
clear ?)...

Q) Still in java, is the notion of package (or something close) available to
organize my classes ?

Q) Isn't the [[receiver message1:xxx] message2:yyyy:zzzz] a little outdated
? Especially on a mac keyboard where no [ or ] is available ? Yes I know how
to type them but still...

That's all for now, I am starting to read Cocoa and, even though the Obj C
syntax seems weird, I like what I see so I go on...
