Swing (JFC)

JDK 1.2 Contents

Swing is the part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that implements a new set of GUI components with a pluggable look and feel. Swing is implemented in 100% Pure Java, and is based on the JDK 1.1 Lightweight UI Framework. The pluggable look and feel lets you design a single set of GUI components that can automatically have the look and feel of any OS platform (Windows, Solaris, Macintosh). Swing components include both 100% Pure Java versions of the existing AWT component set (Button, Scrollbar, Label, etc.), plus a rich set of higher-level components (such as tree view, list box, and tabbed panes).
