The Mac L&F has had a tortured past.  First Sun provided
it, then they dropped their support.  In response to Sun's
poor support, even when they attempted it, an independent 
developer in Italy took on the task and seems to still
be the source of the best L&F for the Mac.  Sun has recently
started supporting MacOS, so there's some competition in 
providing the L&F.  Realize that MacOS 9.x and less provides
support for JDK 1.1.8 (Swing 1.1), meaning that you cannot work 
with JDK 1.2 and greater (i.e., Java 2).  You'll have to 
wait for the public beta of MacOS X (X = ten) for Java 2
on some Macs.  Currently, the public beta is scheduled
for release at some point during September.  Note that
when the public beta is released, you'll be able to run
JBuilder 3.5 on it.  Of course, you'll also need a qualified
G3 or G4 to run MacOS X, initially.

The best place to find out more info on this is to
