What is the difference between AWT & Swing?
Answer Posted / hemz
The classes contained in the java.awt package provide a
basic capability to create graphical user interfaces, but
the scope of the tools contained in java.awt is limited.
Furthermore, the actual implementation of the components is
done in a language other than Java, and the look and
behavior of the components is somewhat dependent on the
runtime platform's native environment. AWT components might
act slightly differently on a UNIX system than they would on
a PC.
The Swing classes are the next-generation (Java 2) GUI
classes. They provide a number of new components including
trees, tables, and tooltips, etc. Swing components are
written entirely in Java...
