The LookAndFeel names returned by
UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo.getName() and
UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getName() are different.
I would like to get a list of available LAF's and
select the default one from that list.
Code snippet:

private String[] getLAFNames() {

    UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] lafInfos =
      UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
    String[] LAFNames = new String[lafInfos.length];
    int i;
    for( i = 0; i < lafInfos.length; i++ ){
LAFNames[i] = lafInfos[i].getName();
    }
    return( LAFNames );
  }

  private void addLAFRadioMenuAndSetLAF( JMenu menu ){
    String[] lafNames = getLAFNames();
    JRadioButtonMenuItem[] lafRadios;
    ButtonGroup lafGroup = new ButtonGroup();
    LookAndFeel defaultLAF = UIManager.getLookAndFeel();
    String defaultLAFName = defaultLAF.getName();

    if( defaultLAF == null ){
      lafRadios = new JRadioButtonMenuItem[lafNames.length+1];
      // Add Radio for the default selection
    }else{
      lafRadios = new JRadioButtonMenuItem[lafNames.length];
    }
    int i;
    for( i = 0; i < lafNames.length; i++ ){
      lafRadios[i] = new JRadioButtonMenuItem( lafNames[i] );
      lafGroup.add( lafRadios[i] );
      menu.add( lafRadios[i] );
// Great, it gives different names from
// UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo.getName() and
// UIManager.getLookAndFeel.getName(), can't do:
// if ( lafNames[i].equals(defaultLAFName)) lafRadios[i].setSelected(true);
      System.out.println( "'"+lafNames[i]+"'" + " " + "'"+defaultLAFName+"'" );
    }


  }

Output using swing-1.0.1:

'Metal' 'Metal Look and Feel'
'CDE/Motif' 'Metal Look and Feel'
'Windows' 'Metal Look and Feel'


PS. This is my second bug report today. I am entitled
to a T-shirt now, right?
