Answer Posted / java learner
Main differences:
1. Awt components are heavy weight whereas swing components are light weight, heavy weight are those which are os dependent.
2. A swing has extra components like table,tree,optionalpanel with the class named JTree,JTable,JOptionalPane etc.
3. Swing components support MVC (model,view,control architecture) whereas awt components support Delegate Event Model.
4. Swing components provide dynamic look and feel whereas awt components provide static look and feel.
the awt is the base, its components are heavy weight as they are operating system dependent.To solve this problem we introduce swing
the swing self built components which are not inherited from awt are light weight .Still a major problem with swing
is that the components it inherited from awt are atill heavy this problem is solved by hidden container ContentPane which u can get by method getContentPane()
