third-party libraries available.
Using Cocoa/Objective-C doesn't mean giving up the Java libraries you
want to use. You can still use them, via the Java Bridge which makes
Cocoa/Java possible in the first place. If you want to use a Java
API, like Lucene, or something in java.util, you can just access it
across
the bridge.
Using Cocoa/Java in order to use non-Cocoa Java APIs
means using the bridge a lot more than you need to, and
paying a performance toll as a result. And losing some
Cocoa API support.
And, if you use Objective-C, then you get to use all those third-party
C/C++ libraries, which are a pain to use from Java.
