Swing (javax.swing.*)
Swing is not an acronym. It packages a set of GUI components. Unlike AWT components, that are associated to native screen resources (heavyweight), Swing components draw themselves on the screen (lightweight). This results in slower execution but a Swing application will look the same on all platforms. Because Swing supports pluggable look-and-feel, you could have a Windows look in your Unix environment (if you would ever want that). Check out the numerous subcategories for code examples for each component!
