Another option for making swing look mac native is macwidgets. It's unfortunately not really maintained anymore and has a few bugs here and there, but the components it offers do look virtually indistinguishable from native ones:
http://code.google.com/p/macwidgets/ While I'm at it I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my app built on macwidgets (and quaqua mentioned earlier). It's a jar file viewer heavily influenced by the now defunct JarInspector (which unfortunately died when apple yanked the java cocoa bindings from OS X - d'oh!). Check out Jarzilla here: http://code.google.com/p/jarzilla/ Jarzilla is not as polished as JarInspector was, but it's functional and in any case the source is available on googlecode as an example of macwidgets usage. Hope that helps!
