There is much to be learned from an appropriate exchange of ideas.

AWT was the original Java GUI toolkit (Abstract Windowing Toolkit). It was roundly rejected basically. Swing was their 2nd attempt at a gui toolkit, it builds ontop of AWT, but includes a ton of new code and APIs. It has been far more successful, and it with SWT (The IBM Java GUI Toolkit that Eclipse uses) have become really the only two Java toolkits in main use. There are wrappers to other toolkits available in Java, but generally people using Java go towards SWING or AWT without fail. --Todd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
