How to make JTextArea transparent in Nimbus LAF of Java

Recently i encountered a problem while using Nimbus LAF of Java that i was not able to make components transparent by using setOpaque(false).
Though my Java 6 update version is a bit older than the current updated version, so it might be possible you may not experience this problem.

For my problem, i found out from the Bugs Section of Java website that this can be resolved like this:-
JTextArea jTextArea1=new JTextArea1();
................
................
jTextArea1.setOpaque(false);
jTextArea1.setBackground(new Color(0,0,0,0));

This bug might have been resolved in future updates but if you face problem, you can use this trick.

    How do you setup custom look and feel? I want to use this: http://napkinlaf.sourceforge.net/

    Do I have to download jar files and place where? and How do I tell java to refer to that jar file to set the look and feel?
