Yup. Apple stopped supporting the Java to Cocoa bridge because developers weren't using it. It is a huge uphill battle trying to make an App written in Java look good and run with a native feel. Apple doesn't like Java on the desktop because Apps look like this: http://twitpic.com/2djc4u http://twitpic.com/2djc4u
Apple still uses Java on the server. For example, the iTunes e-commerce back end is written in Java.
