Can I build attractive GUI in Java? If yes, how should I do it? Or should I use some other language or tool to do it?

Filthy Rich Clients is a good book for learning how to use Java to build attractive GUIs that go beyond the usual Swing look.

You can use SWT, which as the other answer mentions is nice for a more native look. You can use JavaFx if you want to add a lot of visual candy, or you can use flash or other technologies and just perform remote operations.

Good luck.
