Even on Panther, Cocoa Java seems to be stuck at Java 1.3, it doesn't

with 1.4, this is a bit concerning. Are Apple losing interest in
Cocoa/Java?
I've built Cocoa-Java applications using Java 1.4.1 on Jaguar. They
needed to use Java 1.4.1 specifically in order to interoperate with
JINI services, and some of the new standard classes (like regular
expressions) wound up being very useful as well. (I also had JUnit set
up for unit testing, running on every build just like OCUnit in
Objective-C.) I ran into no difficulties that I could attribute to the
use of Java 1.4.1 versus the use of Java 1.3.
One important thing to remember when using Mac OS X for Java
development is that you can't just install the end-user Java update and
be done with it. You *must* also install the Java SDK update. In the
case of Java 1.4.1, this is what lets you specify in your application's
target settings that it should be launched with the 1.4 VM rather than
the 1.3 VM. If no setting is specified, the operating system uses the
1.3 VM for backwards compatibility purposes.
It sounds like this might be what you were running into. Otherwise, be
specific about what problems you're seeing. The members of the mailing
list might be able to help.
