There's public API associated with Nimbus in javax.swing.plaf.nimbus so I don't think many people will want to use that facility and it doesn't seem appropriate to have it in the jdk7 source train.

HI all, I have a simple patch that allows the building of the Nimbus L'n'F (which has a dependency on a specific version of JIBX, 1.1.5) to be turned off so the user can trade build simplicity for a lack of Nimbus support and curved buttons in Swing. The bug report is here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/show_bug.cgi?id=100054 And the webrev is here: http://fuseyism.com/100054/webrev.00/ (still having some issues getting access to cr.openjdk.java.net) Thanks,
