Program Ignoring Nimbus Look and Feel ?

Question

I'm trying to use the new look and feel of Nimbus, and it seems like my program is just ignoring the option. Is there anything else I have to do other than this ?
try{ UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");     }
                    catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e){ }
                    catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { }
                    catch (InstantiationException e) { }
                    catch (IllegalAccessException e) { }
self.setSize(800, 600);
self.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
self.setVisible(true);
I'm not even getting exceptions either. It just looks like the Windows standard format.
Thoughts ?

The original code included simple print statements to alert me, I trimmed it out to clean up the code for viewing.Then a more appropriate trimmed up equivalent would have been:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");
self.setSize(800, 600);
self.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
self.setVisible(true);because as you said, you weren't getting any exceptions, so no catch blocks were executed anyway. See how this would have not led to the confusion that you were swallowing exceptions?
Anyway, I don't know the answer, other than just to say I suspect something is amiss in your assertion that no exception was being thrown. Perhaps you did indeed swallow the exception. Since the actual code you are running is different than what you posted here, who knows.
