What I found so useful about Cocoa-Java was that it was the perfect
tool for easily writing Cocoa Apps that made heavy use of technologies
that Apple was too short-sighted to add, largely because Java came out-
of-the-box with so many useful classes for basic stuff like regular
expressions. And its integration with the rest of the environment made
it far less painful than the other language bindings. Back in the
Jaguar-era when I had to write applications that made heavy use of XML
and regular expressions, Cocoa-Java saved the day--no 3rd-party
nonsense required.
Those were the days...

One other possible solution is to use the JavaScriptCore and make a

As long as we're discussing really far out solutions...
There's the Java java.util.regex package. One could write some JNI and
wrap the Java package (only two classes) although you'd have to start
up the VM.
Personally, I like some of the extensions that Java adds to the
patterns.
