"I have a suggestion for Apple that I think could improve their standing while also helping the developer community at large. I propose that Apple port its Cocoa application framework to Java. To some extent Apple has already moved in this direction. They have already ported their WebObjects platform entirely to Java. They also have a Java to Objective-C bridge that allows the creation of hybrid Cocoa-Java applications on Mac OS X. I propose a port that will allow rich clients made with Cocoa and Project Builder that would run entirely on the Java virtual machine." Read on in this three page analysis concerning Apple's current position in the world of desktop computing and the possibilities for its future.
