Some Swing L&Fs are not public. It is not possible to create them using reflection now in JDK 9 because of the modularization feature. There are use cases when some information should be obtained from a L&F without its installation - check if L&F is supported - take some defaults to use it in custom L&FThe proposed solution adds UIManager.createLookAndFeel(className) method which allows to create a given L&F without installation.
It is interesting should we allow creation of any L&F or only those which were installed and/or supported? I recall that it was possible to initialize the windows l&f on linux, Will the new method add a possibility to create it? if yes should we support that?
