Solution
You could mimic Metro style in a Java application. Here is an effort using the JavaFX UI framework:

You can only use such applications in the desktop environment of Windows 8 though, not in the metro environment. But that could still be useful, depending on the case.
Problem
I have already developed a Java application which is working well in Windows XP, Windows 7 & Windows 8 consumer preview. The application is developed using GWT, CSS3 with Spring framework,and built-in Jetty server which is used to launch the application using the Internet explorer. After exploring throught the metro apps principles, i want to give my application users an extra benefit of using is as a metro app I read about DWR, gwt-explorer. But still i'm not sure. Is there any other workaround with minimum code changes? Thank you Mr.Andrew Thompson for helping me.
