I'm nosing around the apple developer site and thinking about writing a desktop app for OS X. I see that you can code in Cocoa using Java, and being a Java developer that sounds inviting.
Should I code in Cocoa using Objective-C or Java? It seems that Objective-C is the 'default' Cocoa development language, which makes me think that perhaps it is more tightly integrated with Cocoa. Misapprehension? Of course, Java has a huge number of libraries available to make lots of tasks easier, plus it's my primary development language. Though, I'm sure writing a desktop app with Java in Cocoa will have some additional challenges that may not apply when using Objective-C. Another alternative is to use pure Java, considering that the OS X has really good Java support, but mainly I'm thinking about Cocoa at this point. Have any Java developers travelled down this Cocoa + (Java || Objective-C) road? Any directions for this pilgrim? ~akb _________________ A.
