If you talking about the particular look of that MDI application then you can look for existing Swing LnFs that might approximate that look (or design your own), or use undecorated JInternalFrames and paint them any way you like.
another question , what shold i use to get windows kind of look and feel in swing ? to develop in swing does it means i need to add external components my application ?

On Windows, you'd use Note that the Windows LAF is only available under Windows; on other platforms this will select the OS X or Motif or GTK LAF, whatever is appropriate.

No, everything needed to use Swing is part of the JRE.
