Looks like some .template files are missing - especially the one needed for creating the NimbusLookAndFeel class. Thanks Kirill Jasper,

I’ve only been able to generate the painter classes for Nimbus. Looks like some .template files are missing – especially the one needed for creating the NimbusLookAndFeel class.

Thanks

What it does is load the xml file from the designer and generate all the source code for Nimbus. It is quite useable if you want to create or edit the xml file and generate a new Nimbus style look and feel though you could do a better job by adapting it to generate code that works with the existing Nimbus code in the JDK rather than a complete new independent LAF that runs on Synth. I really want to at lest get part of the designer tool out to the public the part that lets you draw the graphics xml that generates a painter. The part that handles the complete model for a LAF is too broken for now and I don't have time to fix it up. After about 80% though the Nimbus project we did not have time to keep the tool in sync with the xml that is in the JDK 6 & 7 so we did most of the edits by hand on the xml file.
