Not using the core java libraries (unless something has changed since last 
time I tried this).

There are a number of commercial extensions to the java core that do allow 
this, though they vary in terms of features and cross-platform portability 
and support.

Probably the best that I know of is JConfig:

Free for 30 day eval, then you have to get a developer license. It doesn't 
necessarily cost, but it depends on the type of application you're 
developing.
