You place the .jar in a module wrapper, as you would any .jar file in a NetBeans Platform application. As for setting the look and feel, you might want to extend ModuleInstall, specifically, override the restored() method with something like this:

    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SubstanceRavenGraphiteLookAndFeel());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Substance Raven Graphite failed to initialize");
    }
