The majority of the UI resources that the XP look and feel are not part of teh JRE but actually accessed from the system itself. This allows it to deal with "theme" changes in Windows XP, like when you go from blue to silver, without needing to update windows itself. But since windows hasn't had any real drastic uses of it's themeing functinality the look isn't that obviuous.
