Jetbrains are the only example I've come across that provide an option for native UI elements in Java apps.
To expand on your point.
What about the combination of fonts and UI elements I've chosen for my desktop environment. Will this new UI toolkit ignore those choices I've made and stick to using their own font?
It's bad enough already, for example on linux, where there are already two incompatible UI toolkits being used for the majority of applications, GTK and Qt. It's already difficult enough getting a consistent UI for applications that use both.

Instead of using the horribleness that is Swing, they wrote their own toolkit, SWT, which uses native UI controls, and it's the only Java app I've ever used that had a native look and feel. (They did a lot of custom rendering, of course, but it was still able to feel native.)
