It cannot be in javax.swing until Java 7. But the choice was made to push out Nimbus now. It will be moved to javax.swing.plaf.nimbus in Java 7. We probably will move Nimbus out of swing.swing and put it in com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus for security related reasons (sun.swing is treated differently than com.sun in the Java plugin). Fortunately, it isn't all that bad. UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels() will return Nimbus as one of the look and feels. If you just iterate over the list and choose the LAF with the name "Nimbus", then you'll get the right one, both now and in Java 7. The people who have to worry about the change are going to be 3rd party component authors. We're working with JIDE now, and will be working with any interested 3rd party component authors to make it as smooth as possible. Cheers Richard Oh. We haven't seen the bug you are seeing with disabled checkboxes? Can you send me the code to have a look? Hey Kirill,

Or perhaps the sun.swing will be just an extension of the new (in JDK 7.0) javax.swing one? And i've already posted a copule of stack traces on Swing & AWT forum. Thanks, Kirill Jasper,

I hope that we can move it to javax.swing for Java 7. The reason it is not in javax.swing is that would then be new API which can not be added in a update release.
