I tested your work around and it worked fine for me :) Of course I bypassed
the "preload" section. When I took a look at UIManager and UIDefaults source
code, I found out that it's not neccessary. Registering my own classloader
is enough.
Here is what I did exactly :
LookAndFeel lnf =
(LookAndFeel)loadObjectFromResource("com.memoire.slaf.SlafLookAndFeel",
"slaf.zip");
UIManager.getDefaults().put("ClassLoader",
lnf.getClass().getClassLoader());
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lnf);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
Thanks a million,
Armond
