Look and feel setup for different OS

Question

I want to run my application in different platform and i want to use different look and feel for each platform. could you please guide how can approach this?

This is what i did. in main java class i added static block and by adding below condition.

if(System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")) //Added for linux
{
  UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
}
else
{
  UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
}

When I run my application in linux platform, it is not showing metal look and feel rather it's showing java default look and feel mainly in JOptionPane.

That may be an unrelated problem. Please post some code. It would be better to open another question for this second problem. Post a link to the new question as a comment here and I will try to help. – Chris Mukherjee Jun 21 '13 at 18:42
Also, feel free to accept my solution above if it helped (even though it wasn't a direct solution, and was actually more of a guide to the right solution). Your choice. – Chris Mukherjee Jun 21 '13 at 18:43

Use the System Look And Feel.

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
