AWT (java.awt.*)
The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) package enables you to create GUIs in your applets and applications. Different Windows API from different platforms were looked at and components were identified that were common to all of them. The AWT API communicates with the platform's native API's as to give your application the native look and feel. Because they associate with their own native screen resources, AWT components are called heavyweight components. Swing components do not associate with native resources and are called lightweight components. The AWT consists of components, both container and non-container ones (eg. Button, Checkbox, Choice, ...) Container components (eg. Frame, Dialog, Window, Panel) control the layout of other components. As containers are themselves components, they can be placed inside other containers. Check out these links and subcategories on how to create and work with these containers and components.
