 | | Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) is a set of application program interfaces (APIs) used by Java programmers to create graphical user interface (GUI) objects, such as buttons, scroll bars, and windows. |
 | | AWT is part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) from Sun Microsystems, the company that originated Java. |
 | | A more recent set of GUI interfaces called Swing extends the AWT so that the programmer can create generalized GUI objects that are independent of a specific operating system's windowing system. |
