There's always been little documentation on the Java Bridge, but it
doesn't look deprecated from the standpoint of calling Java API's from
Obj-C I see no mention of deprecation or use at your own risk in the
headers. (Whether it gets me flamed for saying so may be another
story, although I'm not sure where that is coming from, I tried
searching through older posts).
The documentation for wrapping your own objective-c classes with
bridget so they can be called from java has been marked as legacy a
while, and the headers for apis related to bridget generated code are
marked use at your own risk, and I would agree that aspect of bridging
is deprecated. However, using standard pre-wrapped cocoa API's from
java still works, and doesn't have any disclaimers in the headers and
there's a good deal of documentation for it, so .
I also found a small apple article on Java Bridge Last updated:
2004-08-31 ->
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaObjects/
Articles/JavaCocoa.html
That mentions using classes from both environments.
I personally would hate to see the java bridge deprecated for calling
java api's from objective-c because it works really well, for most
cases easy to use and very useful as it adds a ton of object oriented
libraries at your disposal. I looked pretty hard to see if using java
apis from objective-c was depreciated and haven't found anything to
support that claim, if I'm wrong could someone please point me to where
that aspect of the java bridge has been flagged as deprecated?
And for those asking about using the Java Bridge from an obj-c cocoa
app (assuming it is indeed not deprecated), there is a cocoa dev
article. And while it is 3 years old, is still valid in my experience
of using the java bridge to call java apis, and I have had no problems
using good java apis from objective-c, as long a they aren't missing
accessors and require you to access public variables.
