Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT)
This package contains all the classes to create graphical user interfaces.
It allows some primitive drawing (in a subpackage called graphics).
It has a number of components corresponding to parts of a windowing interface
- basic components like buttons, textfields, lists, scrollbars, etc.
- components such as panel and frame which allow you to place a number of other components within them. This is hierarchical.
There are layout managers to help arrange the components.
There are events and a model to handle events that come from user interactions such as clicking a button or typing in text.
