For your first two bullet points, see:
<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2110.html>
For the available LAFs, the Apple Aqua LAF is always available and default;
Metal is always available. Quite probably the Windows LAF has classes
present but is unavailable. I also vaguely recall that Motif is in there
somewhere, but who cares. Other PLAFs might also be available, as Java
extensions, depending on what the user likes or doesn't like, and where
they've placed the jars.
I advise against relying on any externally provided list of PLAFs. Because
PLAFs are dynamic and configurable, you should always rely on exactly what
the platform itself provides as a list of available PLAFs, not what some
external document says is available.
I can't help asking:
What are you planning to do with the PLAF list?
