Java: Swing application should use operating system theme

To get the look and feel of your operating system in your Java program, you can use the following code right at the beginning of your main:

public static void main(String[] args) {

  String  style;
  style = javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName(); 

  try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(style);
  } catch(Exception e) {     
      style = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel";
  } finally {
             
  }  

  // other code
} 

In the case of an exception, that is, when the loading of the standard theme goes awry, the Nimbus design is used.
