Give Java application a Metro Look and Feel in Windows 8 [closed]

Question

I have already developed a Java application which is working well in Windows XP, Windows 7 & Windows 8 consumer preview. The application is developed using GWT, CSS3 with Spring framework,and built-in Jetty server which is used to launch the application using the Internet explorer.

After exploring throught the metro apps principles, i want to give my application users an extra benefit of using is as a metro app

I read about DWR, gwt-explorer. But still i'm not sure. Is there any other workaround with minimum code changes?

Thank you Mr.Andrew Thompson for helping me.

Answer 1

You could mimic Metro style in a Java application. Here is an effort using the JavaFX UI framework:

You can only use such applications in the desktop environment of Windows 8 though, not in the metro environment. But that could still be useful, depending on the case.

Answer 2

Metro style look and feel coming to Java?

I thought this was more to do with the Pluggable Look & Feel. Well don't wait, create! See:
