The trick is to use the Java SWT library rather than Swing. (In my case I also added a few platform-specific hacks such as having a big toolbar at the top of the main window in OS X but not Windows).
You can make the apps look native, if you really care. But in an era when web apps are the shizzle why would you even care? No web app even tries to look native. They just do their own thing and nobody cares.
Because they require the use of Apple's hand-rolled Java 1.6
