Indeed there is very little example code about, there is some if you
look hard enough, but not as much as there could be. Once you've been
writing it for a while though, you learn to read in Obj-C, but code it
in Java, the syntax may not look similar, but code structure is pretty
much the same.
I have built a couple of non-trivial apps in Cocoa/Java (20,000+ lines
of code), it has issues, but nothing I would consider serious. The main
problems are down to missing/incomplete documentation rather than bugs.
The real joy of Cocoa/java is the ability to use all the Java goodness
like JDBC, but still make a native OS X app.
If you already know Java, you will find it quite easy, certainly easier
than Swing/AWT, if you don't then it might be a bit much to take on,
learn Java first.
I really wish Apple would push it as development environment in a
bigger way than they do, it's a powerful, simple solution for writing
apps for OSX, and as a big bonus, you get code than can be reused on
Window and UNIX/Linux much easier than Obj-C can.

Hi,
I'm struggling to find much information beyond the basics about Cocoa
development in Java. I've read the stuff at apple, searched the list
archives, google'd, and even read the Objective-C specific books.
Other than the basics there doesn't seem to be anything around for
Java.
Does anyone know where to get more info? Has anyone built anything
non-trivial in Java/Cocoa?
Help please, PaulS :(
