  The Java 2 user interface
JFC refers to the entire set of graphical and user interface technologies included in the Java 2 platform, including AWT and Swing.
Before the Java 2 platform, graphical capabilities in the language were rather primitive, limited to solid lines of single-pixel thickness; a few geometric shapes such as ovals, arcs, and polygons; and basic image-drawing functionality.
This class will provide the public API calls to query and set numerous aspects of the focus state, such as which component currently has the focus and the order of components in a focus traversal cycle.

 What is Java
The JVM is the translator and facilitator of communication between Java applets and applications, and the native environment that the Java Platform is running on.
Java Accessibility API and Utilities: The API is built directly into the Swing UI classes, the Utilities include sample "assistive technologies", Java-to-native platform bridge, and AWT translators.
Programs built with the JFC are not tied to a specific representation of their information (e.g., a specific list box, menu bar, or push button), but can instead allow its presentation to be programmatically determined, and can be chosen by the user.

 Amazon.ca: Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell: Books: David Flanagan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell provides the documentation needed for understanding the most important features of Swing and serves as a handy reference to every package, class, and method.
There is detailed documentation on each of the classes that are covered, as well as a diagram that shows the class hierarchy within the class, and where the class fits into the overall Java class hierarchy.
The major part of the text (~550 pages) is the reference to the Foundation Classes and lists all of the JFC classes with their class hierarchy structure information, all methods and a brief description of the class.

 Swing/AWT Interview Questions
These questions are often asked by the interviewer for JFC (Java foundation classes) interview.
The Java Foundation Classes (JFC) are a set of Java class libraries provided as part of Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) to support building graphics user interface (GUI) and graphics functionality for client applications that will run on popular platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
The Java Virtual Machine (VM) is responsible for translating the AWT calls into the appropriate calls to the host operating system.

 Java Foundation Classes - a Whatis.com definition
Using the Java programming language, Java Foundation Classes (JFC) are pre-written code in the form of class libraries (coded routines) that give the programmer a comprehensive set of graphical user interface (GUI) routines to use.
JFC is an extension of the original Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT).
Using JFC and Swing, an additional set of program components, a programmer can write programs that are independent of the windowing system within a particular operating system.

 Java Foundation Classes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JFC consists of the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), Swing and Java 2D.
Together, they provide a consistent user interface for Java programs, regardless whether the underlying user interface system is Windows, Mac OS X or Linux.
That meant that the standard widgets in the AWT relied on those capabilities of the native widgets, requiring the developer to also be aware of the differences between host platforms.

 SUN AND NETSCAPE OFFER DEVELOPER RELEASE OF JAVA FOUNDATION CLASSES
The Java Foundation Classes are available for public download initially through the Java Developer Connection (Sun's support network for Java developers) at http://java.sun.com/jdc, and can be used to begin building JFC-based applications immediately.
In addition, the Java Foundation Classes enable developers to create a custom user interface for applications and also allows developers to enable computer users to switch the "look and feel" of JFC-based applications "on the fly," a feature that is unique to applications developed with the Java Foundation Classes.
In addition, since the Java Foundation Classes have an open architecture, and all JFC components are JavaBeans™ components, developers can easily bring in other JavaBeans GUI components to enhance their JFC applications.

 JFC: An in-depth look at Sun's successor to AWT - Java World
JFC also was the subject of two of the conference's 60 technical sessions, and another session compared JFC with Microsoft's Application Foundation Classes (AFC).
Because Sun's vision of Java is not limited to the desktop, the existing peer-based components still will be supported in future releases of the JDK, so GUI developers won't have to convert their code to use JFC components when they begin using JDK 1.2.
