Welcome to Rococoa
Rococoa is a generic Java binding to the Mac Objective-C object system. It allows the creation and use of Objective-C objects in Java, and the implementation of Objective-C interfaces in Java.
Rococoa Acknowledgements
Rococoa owes much to the following people and organisations
- JNA does all the heavy lifting of calling into Cocoa and marshaling parameters. Timothy Wall also added pass struct by value and other extension points to make our life simpler.
- Paul Loy was the alpha guinea-pig.
- Simon Taylor, Gareth Sylvester-Bradley and Dion Crannitch for Objective-C help.
- Richard Care, Matt Bowers, Andy Collins and Morgan David let it go.
- Apple Inc produced Quicktime, Java on Mac OS, the Cocoa-Java Bridge and Quicktime for Java, then killed at least 2 of them. If you know Java and Cocoa your name could be on this list! Get involved!

Change History
0.3.0
* Functioning 64-bit (and hence Java 6) support
thanks to Paul Loy for fixes and discussions, and Andy Thompson for NSInteger et al
* We should now correctly l small structs as return values, not just NSSize!
* Improved NSDictionary
* Support for JNA-3.0.4
0.2.0
* Much more rigorous memory management.
* Selectors are now cached on the Java side.

thanks to Andy Thompson for suggestions and help.
* Fix defect #10 where delegates and notifications failed after the autorelease
