Thanks Charlton and Ali and others for entertaining my question and  rant.

It looks like the writing is on the wall. Use Objective-C or go home. A half supported java solution is, well, no solution. Looks like I'll have to start over. Only a couple of weeks of spare time lost and I learned about other aspects of modern Mac programming that were not wasted. Anybody want to buy a Java book?

If you want to do Cocoa, then use Objective-C or go home. Traditional Java still works fine, but Cocoa Java is being phased out.


This was the message I got from a recent developer meet in Sydney. Java on Mac is still very much supported, but Java/Swing (cross platform), not Java/Cocoa (OS X only). If you're happy to just target OS X, then Cocoa is good.
