I second this request. Java apps with GTKLookAndFeel look much better
integrated than the ones with MetalLookAndFeel.

I think all we need to do is ... 
1. Add a /etc/java-6-openjdk/swing.properties file with following content.
# Swing properties
swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
2. Add a symlink to this file at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/
