Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2015-10-27 10:17:35 UTC 
It looks like it is not possible to switch LAF. 
On Windows MetalLookAndFeel is used instead of Windows LAF.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2015-10-27 14:44:16 UTC 
Instead of trying to instantiate the L&F class, we can try to use UIManager.setLookAndFeel(String className).
