Answer Posted / jitender singh

Swing is a library of GUI controls which improves upon
the Abstract Window Toolkit.

Swing draws components using its own methods. This gives
developers much greater flexibility in designing the look
and feel of their applications, while at the same time
ensuring that the applications maintain the same look and
feel across different platforms.

Swing provides significantly enhanced functionality,
such as actions, tables, trees, images buttons, tabs,
toolbars, and sliders.
