Is Java look and feel configurable?

Can I set different widget styles to Java applications?
I just would like Java applications to be more KDE integrated.

Thanks in advance

As fas as I know, you can't change to a QT/KDE look.

Re: Is Java look and feel configurable?

Azureus uses a different graphical toolkit for Java (SWT I think its called) which can more easily take on the native look and feel of either GTK (Gnome's primary toolkit) or QT (KDE's toolkit) depending on whats running.

Most Java apps just use the Swing GUI toolkit (Java's own), which only takes on the look and feel of GTK stuff... totally ignoring QT to fend for itself =\. I use gtk-qt-engine to get GTK apps to imitate KDE's appearance, not sure if Java's Swing is affected by that though.
