how to detect platform?

What I really want to do is set the look and feel according to
platform, win-lnf for windows, gtk-lnf for linux. I don't have a mac to
try it on, but the same for mac would make sense.

When I use getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() I still get the butt ugly
metal on linux, so I'd like some way to detect which platform I'm on so
I can set the lnf accordingly..

Also, does the gtk lnf work on Windows? I've tried with sun-jdk15 and
sun-jre15, none of which seem to have it.

Consult the system properties:

System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));

and work from there. @see UIManager

Probably not.
