I have read about CodeWarror for OS X Professional. Is this worth

You won't need it. I haven't used it so I don't know what it's
feature profile is, but for $500 I'd expect it to come with a new
computer.
In fact, CodeWarrior now features *integration with Interface Builder*
for building GUIs!! (IB is Apple's free tool, companion to Project
Builder, its IDE.)
If you're going to be creating Cocoa Apps (whether Obj-C or Java)
Project Builder right now wins hands down. For everything else CW is
probably better (IMHO) although whether it's better enough to justify
the price is another issue altogether (I get it with academic pricing,
so in my case the choice wasn't that hard).
Of course, if you want your code to run on windows, then you'll
probably need CW anyway. I think the only serious software houses that
use CW for Win32 are those that do cross-platform development (don't
take my word for it, but probably Adobe and Macromedia, to use two
well-known examples).
