From the Description:
Mac OS X for Java Geeks delivers a complete and detailed look at the Mac OS X platform, geared specifically at Java developers. Programmers using the 10.2 (Jaguar) release of Mac OS X, and the new JDK 1.4, have unprecedented new functionality available to them. Whether you are a Java newbie, working your way through Java Swing and classpath issues, or you are a Java guru, comfortable with digital media, reflection, and J2EE, this book will teach you how to get around on Mac OS X. You’ll also get the latest information on how to build applications that run seamlessly, and identically, on Windows, Linux, Unix, and the Mac.
I’ll get this book if they update it for Panther and XCode and if the sample chapter (QT4Java) is still valid after all of the recent changes that Apple has made.
