One approach would be to use the value returned from


UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()

It's against all the principles of Java philosophy. If you are writing an

application you would't need such information. Simply, doing like that you'll

end up losing portability, and maintenance becomes a nightmare.

Consider trying a different approach to your problem.


Alternatively, you could use external libraries to accomplish system-specific

operations (see the JNI API).
