Swing and AWT Architecture (Java Foundation Classes)David FlanaganOreilly & Associates Inc
Architecture:AWT is a part of the core Java API and is implemented using the platform's native GUI components. Swing is built entirely in Java and provides a set of GUI components that are platform-independent. AWT components are faster than Swing components because they are implemented using t...
The Swing Tutorial touches on parts of the AWT that support the Swing architecture: Introduction to Event Listeners Top-Level Containers and the Containment Hierarchy Laying out Components in a Container/a> Modality, Splash Screen, Desktop, and System Tray Full-Screen Exclusive Mode API How to ...
Prior to Java 6 Update 12, mixing Swing components and basic AWT widgets often resulted in undesired side effects, with AWT widgets appearing on top of the Swing widgets regardless of their defined z-order. This problem was because the rendering architecture of the two widget toolkits was very ...

java.beans Contains classes related to developing beans -- components based on the JavaBeans architecture. javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. javax.swing.border Provides classes and inte...
Extensible and flexible. Swing is a library entirely implemented in Java space. Therefore, it controls everything it needs. The architecture of Swing conforms to MVC pattern which exerts many of the advantage of Java as an Object-Oriented languages. In fact, it provides several ways to extend ...
To address these and other deficiencies, we have designed a new focus model for the AWT in JDK 1.4. The primary design changes were the construction of a new centralized KeyboardFocusManager class, and a lightweight focus architecture. The amount of focus-related, platform-dependent code has been...
JFC is built on the AWT architecture but it contains all new UI components, which are lightweight, not peer-based. Because Sun’s vision of Java is not limited to the desktop, the existing peer-based components still will be supported in future releases of the JDK, so GUI developers won...
