I was just wondering how long Java cocoa development has been an option, and wondering if I'm an extreme minority at this point, with very few developers using java for cocoa development yet. If not many, is it just because it's new, or are there some substantial downsides to using java for cocoa?

What it really comes down to is that if you're doing cross-platform development, you're likely to be better off using Swing, and if you're doing Mac-only development, you're likely to be better off using Objective-C. Cocoa really is designed to work well with Objective-C, and it's not such a great fit for Java.


Out of curiosity, why are you using Java instead of Objective-C?
