AquaFX looks interesting and may form the basis for a Mac look, but there remains the question of the feel: shortcuts, menus, file system conventions, interactions with the desktop ( just to mention a few off the top of my head).

If we're talking about standardising through common APIs, Java needs a well-defined platform abstractionAPI in my view, which takes account of desktops in general (Mac, Windows, Linux) and mobiles too. It should be less a question of what has to be done to keep the Mac freaks quiet and more "what do platforms in general provide and how can we make it available and useful?".

Agreed.
