Project Swing (JavaTM Foundation Classes)

Documentation Contents

Project Swing is the part of the Java^TM Foundation Classes (JFC) software that implements a set of GUI components with a pluggable look and feel. Project Swing is implemented entirely in the Java programming language, and is based on the JDK^TM 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 (Microsoft Windows, Solaris^TM, Macintosh). Project Swing components include both 100% Pure Java^TM certified 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).
