With all the Java developers available out there you'd think that there would be more documentation and tutorials released with the developer tools. It's a tremendous barrier to entry for novices. "Not such a bad thing" you might say, but the seeds of the future should be sown in fertile ground, not barren.


as Davidson says:


"But, after that point, the remaining Java-oriented documentation consists mainly of the Application Kit and Foundation API references. And worse, these references are incomplete ports of the Objective-C documents. For example, the following sentence comes from the Java application references for the NSEvent class:



"NSWindow and NSApplication define the method nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:, which allows an object to retrieve events of specific types."


The above makes very little sense to a Java programmer unless they have some experience with Objective-C message-naming conventions."
