User's Guide
The Metamorphosis JAR contains a second launchable class, Fakeclipse,
that provides the faked Eclipse window.
Class Metamorphosis just launches Fakeclipse with
a bunch of prepared appearance configurations.
You can launch Fakeclipse from a command-line with a given style:
franken, rookie, standard, advanced, elegant,
standardX, advancedX, elegantX, where the last three
use a multi-platform look instead of a Windows emulation.
