Mustang is galloping into town. Also known as Java SE 6, Sun's latest incarnation of the Java 2 platform should arrive in its first non-beta release by the time you read this article. Jeff Friesen shows you why the many new features (from console I/O and access permissions control methods, to the system tray API and table sorting and filtering) that you now get to play with make Mustang an interesting release.

I just tried setting the lnf to SystemLookAndFeel in a Swing program I had written, turns out SystemLookAndFeel is Metal by default on Linux. At least that's what System.out.println(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); tells me. (not using Gnome)

AFAIK, default is always Ocean (Metal replacement of Java5). You need a line of code to change it.

I did have UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); in the code,
running it on Windows XP gives the XP look and feel, but the same code on Linux gives me Ocean.
