Cocoa-Java and the Future

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.
