You can redistribute anything that is in the /redist directory.  As of
JBuilder 2005, that includes the Borland Look&Feel, at least with the
Enterprise version.

I suspect that would be the case for Developer, but not for Foundation.  
Be sure to check your license and the contents of /redist to be sure what
you can legally do.

JBuilder 2005 Developer includes the BorlandLookAndFeel in the dist
folder.

MY only problem is trying to get my Swing app to use the
BorlandLookAndFeel.  I have add the BorlandLookAndFeel.jar into the
Required Libraries for the project and used the following import
statement:

import com.borland.plaf.borland.BorlandLookAndFeel;

But when I try to set the UIManager to use the BorlandLookAndFeel I
cannot compile because it's has the error

"cannot find symbol; symbol BorlandLookAndFeel, ..."

When I use ErrorInsight to suggest a correction it comes up with the
same suggestion that I have used.

Let's see the line of code you are using with the UIManager.  It's 
probably something simple.

The line of code I'm trying to add is:


UIManager.setLookAndFeel(BorlandLookAndFeel);

The two forms of the setLookAndFeel method take either a string or an 
instance of LookAndFeel as their argument.  You need to do one of these:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.borland.plaf.borland.BorlandLookAndFeel");
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new BorlandLookAndFeel());

Fantastic, many thanks all worked great .. still picking things as each
