UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");

There's an easier solution. You can just copy the progress bar UI defaults before setting the nimbus look-and-feel and then set them back after. You then get Nimbus look and feel but without its progress bar styling.
// copy progress bar defaults
HashMap<Object, Object> progressDefaults = new HashMap<>();
for(Map.Entry<Object, Object> entry : UIManager.getDefaults().entrySet()){
if(entry.getKey().getClass() == String.class && ((String)entry.getKey()).startsWith("ProgressBar")){
progressDefaults.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
}
// set nimbus
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");
// copy back progress bar defaults
for(Map.Entry<Object, Object> entry : progressDefaults.entrySet()){
UIManager.getDefaults().put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
You can either use a different look and fill or create your own component.
