I want to give XP Look and Feel to my Java Desktop Appliction, regardless of the platform it will run.

I came to know that since JDK 1.4, Sun Microsystems has officially released a look and feel for XP - com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel

I am using Java 1.6 but when I didn't find any package named windows in javax.swing.plaf package.

Q1. How can I use the XP Look and Feel?

Q2. Will using this look and feel will appear same on all platforms (mac, solaris, linux)?
