AWT AWT

AWT - Definition and Overview

The Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is Java's platform-independent windowing, graphics, and user-interface widget toolkit. The AWT is part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) - the standard API for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for a Java program.

In the JDK version 2, the AWT's widgets have largely been superseded by those of the Swing toolkit.
