I have a Cocoa-Java application that I am reevaluating moving to
Objective-C. That is unless Apple has more plans to embrace the Java
side of things via the following:
- Java bindings for WebKit. If Apple won't go through the trouble of
binding a few more Objective-C Cocoa classes, I'm worried.
- Java bindings for Core Data and Objective-C bindings. I'm guessing
Apple will never fully make this happen because for KVO to work
properly Apple would have to mess with the Java method dispatch model.
- Java bindings for new and improved Spotlight Search Kit in Tiger.
Does anyone have their hands on a Tiger Developer Preview? Or could
anyone from Apple speak up. Are any of the above features planned for
Tiger? Considering how Apple is embracing Objective-C more via KVO and
bindings, it appears making Java a first-class API to MacOS X isn't a
burning priority anymore. Which if none of the above are planned for
the Tiger timeframe I need to rewrite my app to use Objective-C and the
Java Bridge.
Thanks for the help.
