Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8789:
-------------------------------------
OK, thanks for the explanation. If the 3rd party library makes the UI usable
under java 8, where it would otherwise be an unusable experience, I think that
is a no-brainer, we should use it.
I don't see any licensing issue, so to me it seems to just be a judgement call
related to who is or isn't maintaining the third party package (last released
August 2018)? We can always remove this dependency in the future because of how
it plugs in, and we'll just fall back to the default look-and-feel, so I don't
think we need to be really paranoid in this situation.

> JGoodies Looks ([http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/libraries/looks/]) is a
> Swing look&feel library for Windows platform.
> The main advantage of the library is (quoted from their home page):
> {quote}Our Windows look&feel focuses on a precise emulation on Windows XP,
> Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and now Windows 10 in the following areas: menus, icons,
> colors, borders, fonts, font sizes, insets, and widget dimensions. It honors
> the screen resolution (low vs. high dpi) to adjust sizes, insets, and widget
> dimensions.
> {quote}
> The library works fine on Java11, relatively light weight (400KB), has no
> other external dependencies, and distributed under 2-Clause BSD License (see:
> [http://www.jgoodies.com/downloads/libraries/]).
>
> Actually, I forgot to include this when migrating Luke from the GitHub repo
> to Lucene project... :)
