It means how the Graphical User Interface (GUI) looks like and behaves. Every OS has its own typical Look&Feel.

At the beginning, Java had its own, but of course most people want to have their applications look like the others of their OS.

You can change the L&F of your Java applications, read about it in the tutorials.

Read about L&F in general at Wikipedia.
