I need to write an app which can observe and manipulate the positions of windows on screen, and I’ve been told that this requires using Cocoa’s Accessibility API.

Unfortunately I’m a Java programmer, and Objective C scares me 😉 Is it possible to access this Cocoa API from within Java? I know that back when Apple cared about Java it maintained a “bridge” to cocoa, but I’m not sure if this does what I need.

Oh, and my IDE is Eclipse, in case that is relevant.

    Yeah, the Java bridge is completely gone in 10.6.

    Objective-C really isn’t that scary—go read some code or do some tutorials. Java in many ways was modeled on it, in fact.
