The GTK Look & Feel does not work with NetBeans.

The Swing property swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/swing.properties seems to be ignored by NetBeans, even though it works perfectly with other applications, for example with /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/jcontrol .

I can confirm that behavior and it is annoying. Since this bug is opened since 2010, will this ever be fixed? I know you can put --laf option in the netbeans.conf file, but that actually doesn't work, if I develop other netbeans applications and run them out of the IDE. They will fall back to the motif style ignoring the swing.defaultlaf option, that I set on every VM via _JAVA_OPTIONS.

I meant of Meta look and feel not motif. Sorry for that.
