Question: What is Difference between AWT and Swing?Answer: Swing provides a richer set of components than AWT. They are 100% Java-based. AWT on the other hand was developed with the mind set that if a component or capability of a component werent available on one platform, it wouldnt be available on any platform. Due to the peer-based nature of AWT, what might work on one implementation might not work on another, as the peer-integration might not be as robust. There are a few other advantages to Swing over AWT:► Swing provides both additional components and added functionality to AWT-replacement components ► Swing components can change their appearance based on the current "look and feel" library that's being used. ► Swing components follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm, and thus can provide a much more flexible UI. ► Swing provides "extras" for components, such as: ► Icons on many components ► Decorative borders for components ► Tool tips for components ► Swing components are lightweight (less resource intensive than AWT) ► Swing provides built-in double buffering ► Swing provides paint debugging support for when you build your own components Swing also has a few disadvantages: ► It requires Java 2 or a separate JAR file ► If you're not very careful when programming, it can be slower than AWT (all components are drawn) ► Swing components that look like native components might not act exactly like native components. |
