Changing the java-L&F is not possible since 2.3

Up to OO2.2 it was possible to change the L&F of java-extensions. Since 2.3 this is no longer possible. Changing the L&F is an important core-aspect of UI-oriented java software. Extensions are using artwork which is designed to be used in a specific L&F-context. Without the expected L&F extensions might not work as expected and they don't look and feel as intended by the developer. Note: I wouldn't have started my extension (OpenCards) if I would have known that I'll be forced to use the default-java-L&F beginning with OO2.3.
