Can anyone tell me why the following will not change the look and feel on my
XP Workstation:

public static void main(String[] args) {
ImportBonds ste = new ImportBonds();
//JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);

String lookAndFeel = null;
//lookAndFeel = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel";
lookAndFeel = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel";
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeel);
} catch (Exception e) { }

ste.show();
}

Are you using Run As->Java Bean or Run As->Java Application? When you
run as a Java Bean, the main method isn't executed. If you want the L&F
change to reflect in the VE, choose the L&F in the Visual Editor
preferences under the Java item.
