Swing is actually a part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC), a collection of technologies

that includes Swing, AWT, Java 2D, Java Drag and Drop, the Accessibility APIs, and others.

The classes and interfaces of Swing are found in the javax.swing packages.

Swing is different from AWT in that Swing components are 100 percent Java, thereby not

relying on the native operating system or platform. This allows Swing components to have a

pluggable look and feel, meaning that you can decide what you want your GUI components

to look like. For example, if you want a button to look like a Windows button, even if the

program is executed on a Macintosh or Unix platform, you can denote your Swing program

as having the Windows look and feel. With the Windows look and feel, the Swing

program will look like a Windows program, no matter what operating system

the program runs on.

Its a light weight component.

Re: What is swing in Java?

Swing is the primary Java GUI widget toolkit. It is part of Sun Microsystems' Java Foundation Classes (JFC) — an API for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for Java programs.


Swing was developed to provide a more sophisticated set of GUI components than the earlier Abstract Window Toolkit.

Swing provides a native look and feel that emulates the look and feel of several platforms, and also supports a pluggable look and feel that allows applications to have a look and feel unrelated to the underlying platform.

It has more powerful and flexible components than AWT. In addition to familiar components such as buttons, check box and labels, Swing provides several advanced components such as tabbed panel, scroll panes, trees, tables and lists.
