Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

Question

hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
# Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar  ]
# Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
# Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
# Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
*i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env
*tried to open the laf.pll from the oracle froms and reports, choosed Program -> Compile PL/SQL -> All, but errors like PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.PREPARE must be declared ...
*tried to compile it using f60gen module=laf.pll userid=Administrator/pass module_type=LIBRARY output_file=laf.plx batch=yes compile_all=SPECIAL but the f60gen is no where to be found
*i tried to replace f60gen by envshell.cmd from the $APPL_TOP but i cant find any environment variable called $APPL_TOP, i even searched the whole hard disk for envshell.cmd and couldnt find anything
Please help as this is the final step of implementation, waiting any response asap!
