Trying to run a swing application. I need to include jar file
C:\java\lnfdir\newlnf.jar
on my class path. Easy to do if I knew where it was. I'm using Java
1.6 and have searched for the jar file in all the directories under not
only Mustang but also the other Java versions I have. The error only
happens when I try to use the GTK+ look-and-feel.

Couldn't find class for specified look and
feel:com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.
Did you include the L&F library in the class path?
Using the default look and feel.

Based on a google search I did find this site

Is what they are saying accurate in the the GTK L&F is only available
under Linux?

Yes if you are on windows you will not find it because of lawyer stuff
right now.

I know of a GTK like LAF. It can be found here:

Not that I especially like the Win. PLAF, but (assuming I
was your Win based user) why do you think I'd want to see
the GTK PLAF in one (of perhaps dozens of) desktop application?

I even find Sun's default Metal PLAF quite odd to look at
and work with, and prefer the Windows PLAF simply because
the keys are more predictable for me.
