Java Substance look and feel problem

Question

I have a problem with substance look and feel. I'm trying to set Office 2007 LAF as descibed here.

    try
    {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.pushingpixels.substance.api.skin.SubstanceOfficeBlue2007LookAndFeel");
    }catch(Exception ex)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception:"+ ex.getMessage());
    }

But when i run this code I get exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/pushingpixels/trident/ease/TimelineEase

What am I doing wrong? Anybody have experience with substance LAF?

Solution 1

It'd seem that you need the Trident library in order to use Substance. Grab it and stick it in your classpath and it should work.

Solution 2

Ok... here goes... http://insubstantial.github.com/insubstantial/

Download your JAR from there

thanks! it works. By why it can't work without this library? Why substance distributes without this library?

No idea :). It is listed on the substance download page: substance.dev.java.net/servlets/…, but that seems to be about it.
