New Mac JFileChooser solution after death of Quaqua on Mavericks

Question

It looks like Werner Randelshofer's fine Quaqua Look-and-feel for Java Swing over Mac OS X has been orphaned for Mavericks. Is there any alternative or forked effort to continue updates, especially for the JFileChooser replacement?

Answer 1

There is a fork of the project which does support Mavericks: https://github.com/karlvr/Quaqua

    }
    catch(Exception e) {

    }
    if (o_JFileChooser.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
