### Using the Quaqua Look and Feel in a NetBeans project

[to do: explain how to integrate Quaqua into a NetBeans 5.0 project]

### Running NetBeans 6.5 with the Quaqua Look and Feel

On Mac OS X, it is possible to run the NetBeans IDE with the Quaqua Look and Feel.

Note: You don't need to run NetBeans with the Quaqua Look and Feel in order to develop projects with it, that use the Quaqua Look and Feel!

To run NetBeans 6.5 with the Quaqua Look and Feel:

1. Select the NetBeans application in the Finder, open the context menu and choose Show Package Contents
2. Copy the files `quaqua.jar`, `libquaqua.jnilib` and `swing-layout.jar` into the folder `Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform6/lib`
3. Edit the file `Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf` in the package contents of the NetBeans application bundle. Change the `netbeans_default_options` line as suggested below.

netbeans_default_options="--laf ch.randelshofer.quaqua.QuaquaLookAndFeel -J-DQuaqua.selectionStyle=bright -J-DQuaqua.opaque=true -J-DQuaqua.tabLayoutPolicy=wrap -J-Djava.library.path=`dirname $0`/../Resources/NetBeans/platform8/lib -J-Xms32m -J-Xmx128m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=160m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true"

[to do: figure out why the java.library.path property does not appear to work]
