INTRODUCTION TO SWING
Earlier we have studied components from AWT package. These components depend on the methods and facilities of similar components from the base platform. That is the reason they are termed as “heavyweight components”. This design has certain advantages. As expected, there are disadvantages too. Now Java provides a set of components termed as “lightweight” components. They are also called all-Java components. These components are coded in Java language. They do not depend on platform facilities. These components are defined in a package Javax.swing. These components practically work the same way on all platforms.
