You just want a prettier look or do you want better graphic performance?

Maybe you can get what you want just by using SWT or GTK+. Both, using recent
versions, will use the nativve look of the plataform. And both have nice
features for drawing.

There's a GTK+ port for Macs, but I do no know how stable it is.
On Windows, use this release of GCC and GCJ:

Else get MingW from mingw.sourceforge.net and use a standard Java2 SDK.

Maybe this will be easier, as you can already get SWT binaries for Win32, Linux
and Mac.
