I have a problem with substance look and feel. I'm trying to set Office 2007 LAF as descibed here.

    try
    {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.pushingpixels.substance.api.skin.SubstanceOfficeBlue2007LookAndFeel");
    }catch(Exception ex)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception:"+ ex.getMessage());
    }

But when i run this code I get exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/pushingpixels/trident/ease/TimelineEase

What am I doing wrong? Anybody have experience with substance LAF?

It'd seem that you need the Trident library in order to use Substance. Grab it and stick it in your classpath and it should work.
