Is there a better package or external library out there that does a better job than javax.swing at resembling the native Windows look and feel? I want my Java GUIs to resemble the forms I create using C# and the .NET framework. Thanks.
SWT comes closest because it actually uses the OS’es native widgets.
The downside is that you have to perform some memory management, which is not required with Swing.
Other options include QT with Java, more information on that in this topic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/422956/java-swing-or-java-qt
and wxWidgets with wx4j: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WxWidgets
