It's much better. | | What look 'n feel issues are you referring to? I was reading javaworld recently (IIRC) and apparently there are issues with Swing looking so different from native platform GUIs. So, there is another toolkit, SWT, or Standard (Window|Widget) Toolkit. IIUC, it is supposed to offer the power and flexibility of Swing with the look and feel of the native application, even using JNI where possible to do so. I'm just repeating what I read, so maybe I need to do some more digging. But I'm under the impression that some developers don't like the look and feel of Swing, and apparently the LookAndFeel API isn't enough to fix it. Let me see what I can dig up.
