You should set L&F *BEFORE* any Swing component is initialized. You 
should also check what L&Fs are supported
on your platform (UIManager gives list of available L&Fs). Actualy 
changing L&F at runtime is possible (see SwingSet2 in JDK
demos) but it might need some testing/fixing if you use advanced Swing 
code. So if you want to support runtime change of L&F
in your apps you should test it.

You can also set L&F using property -Dswing.defaultlaf=<L&F class name>
