Add Flat Look and Feel to older Netbeans Platform applications
Hi,
I have an older pre-12.4 Netbeans Platform application that I’d like to add all the new Look and Feels to it (Light, Dark, Flat, etc).
It’s an Ant based project that I reopened in 12.4 and even 12.5 Beta 2 and recompiled it thinking the new looks would be available automatically, but were not.
I have the Look and Feel libraries selected in my main Platform Application Libraries under the “platform” section. I also have both the “Light” LF’s selected as well, but I still only get the original 4.
I just tried to create a brand new Ant based Platform application test project and simply run it and still nothing..
However, if I create a brand new Maven based project and set the “netbeans.version” tag to RELEASE124 and build and run it, then I get all the new look and feels
Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Tim

It does and probably that checkbox should be checked by default.
Great to hear you figured it out. :-)
Onward to cool look and feels for all NetBeans Platform applications!

Update:
In my existing project, looks like I have to enable “RCP Platform” under the ‘platform’ bundle and then after a clean and build the new LF’s showed up.
I also tried a brand-new Ant based Netbeans Platform Application from the New Project Wizard and noticed that option is NOT selected by default
It seems strange that this option is not selected by default since we are building an RCP application. Once I selected that option an rebuilt, the new LF’s showed up in the test application as well.
Does this sound right?
