So I'd like to know, what does MacOS provide in the way of Java

so any other solution that works would be welcome.
Bonjour!
The Cocoa framework, though written in Objective-C, provides support
for Java integration. If you code using the model-view-controller
pattern, you can surely write the model in Java (using the Cocoa
framework). You can also write the controller in Java, though many
prefer to write this much in Objective-C as well. The view of course
you will build using InterfaceBuilder, which will use Objective-C.
The result is a native GUI that leverages your Java coding abilities.
You will find that building the GUI will be quite rapid. When it comes
time to bring your application to another platform, you need only
rewrite the controller and view.
Check out Apple's documentation on the subject. I can also recommend
the following third-party article for an easy overview:

Bonne chance!

P.S.
Those two phrases are all the French that comes to mind right now ;-)
