Question: Compare SWING components to standard AWT.

Answer: Swing is an extension of, and not a replacement for the AWT. There is some overlap between AWT and Swing (for example a Swing JButton component might be viewed as an improved functional replacement for an AWT Button component.) One of the advantages of Swing components is that because the components are not rendered on the screen by the operating system, the look and feel of a component does not change as the application or applet is executed on different platforms running under different operating systems. Furthermore, it is possible to cause Swing components to mimic the look and feel of a specific platform no matter what platform the program is running on. This is known as pluggable look and feel. Swing components support the JDK 1.1 Delegation Event Model. From an event handling viewpoint, Swing components operate the same as AWT components (except that Swing provides a number of new event types). Many Swing components don't have an AWT counterpart. A number of new and exciting components are included in the Swing library that don't exist in the AWT (tooltips, progress bars, trees, etc.)
