Take a look at FlatLAF:

They have done a great job bringing a modern appearance to the Swing components.

NetBeans switched to FlatLaf, and looks pretty good.

As I understand it, IDEA has done a lot of "Swing Work". I don't know if it's just augmenting existing or creating a bunch of new controls or if they delved deeper. It's just my understanding that IDEA is Swing, but not as we know it. I could be wrong.

NetBeans is pretty much pure Swing.
