I've been using with great success a Java based program called Jpdftweak.



After I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 it does not use it's old-school swing style'd GUI any longer but Java somehow tries to adopt to the desktop theme.



This desperately fails up to the point that now it is not use able any longer.



I wonder if it is possible to command Java for that program (it is a .jar file) to just ignore the desktop theme but take the old one. For me this can be even anything boxy and old-school, I just like it working (OK it is still working but it's really close to I get the feeling one more release of Ubuntu and this is falling apart).



I tried to play around with the swing.defaultlaf property like:



$ java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel 
-jar jpdftweak.jar


But it gives no changes. I'm not so into Java and Swing, but isn't it possible to use the same look-and-feel which was available in earlier Ubuntu versions like Ubuntu 16.04?
