Do programs written in Java that use components from Swing to build their GUI display exactly the same on all operating systems?
EDIT: let me ask the question this way: using Java is it possible to design a GUI that is guaranteed to display exactly the same on all platforms?
Saying shortly it will look differently by default, because swing uses system look & feel, but you can override it (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/plaf.html), in this case application will look the same on all platforms with the same look & feel, or you may disable some look & feel features like -Dswing.noxp=true
