I’d love to see that Plugin.

Well, this (found on the page linked by Romain) should be a sufficient answer:
“You should not have to wait to long for the first public alpha build”

Is that Netbeans module available publicly, if yes where?

Même remarque que Duffman sur l’influence de Coda que j’avais découvert suite à l’article de Romain.
Je trouve très sympa l’aspect post-it (pour les preview de page); Dans le cas de Laffy,c’est fait très simplement avec deux images : celle de fond avec l’ombre arrière et celle de devant avec le scotch.

Take a look to the “real world” as it shows within offices around the world. You will see that more often than not applications bring their own “look & feel”. Even these days there is great bunch of character based user interfaces around and noone really cares as long as the application does it’s job. Ever seen old buddy SAP R/3 ;)

I’m really glad to hear this. I don’t know that I agree with all their design decisions (for example the scrollbar) but it is a really nice looking look and feel. What’s more important to me is that the Swing team is trying to move forward with new technology rather than resting on their laurels. I know they are aware of the competition, it’s just good to see them taking active steps to keep their technology kit in the market. Good stuff, thanks for the update.

Here we go again… seriously I don’t know anyone who really cares about that. As long as the application is good, the UI well designed (easy to use and good looking), it’s fine.

While that sounds very nice, and being able to switch between L&Fs is cool, do users want applications that look completely different from everything else on their system? It’s nice for little apps like Winamp, but if I’m sitting down to get some work done I don’t want 4 different types of buttons, lists, etc across 4 different applications.
