Difference between AWT and Swing

There are many differences between java awt and swing that are given below.

No. Java AWT Java Swing

1) AWT components are platform-dependent. Java swing components are platform-independent.

2) AWT components are heavyweight. Swing components are lightweight.

3) AWT doesn't support pluggable look and feel. Swing supports pluggable look and feel.

4) AWT provides less components than Swing. Swing provides more powerful components such as tables, lists, scrollpanes, colorchooser, tabbedpane etc.

5) AWT doesn't follows MVC(Model View Controller) where model represents data, view represents presentation and controller acts as an interface between model and view. Swing follows MVC.

Java Swing Examples

There are two ways to create a frame:

By creating the object of Frame class (association)

By extending Frame class (inheritance)

We can write the code of swing inside the main(), constructor or any other method.

import javax.swing.*;  

public class FirstSwingExample {  

public static void main(String[] args) {  

JFrame f=new JFrame();//creating instance of JFrame  

          

JButton b=new JButton("click");//creating instance of JButton  

b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);//x axis, y axis, width, height  

          

f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame  

          

f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height  

f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers  

f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible  

}  

}  

Example of Swing by Association inside constructor

We can also write all the codes of creating JFrame, JButton and method call inside the java constructor.

File: Simple.java

import javax.swing.*;  

public class Simple {  

JFrame f;  

Simple(){  

f=new JFrame();//creating instance of JFrame  

          

JButton b=new JButton("click");//creating instance of JButton  

b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);  

          

f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame  

          

f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height  

f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers  

f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible  

}  

  

public static void main(String[] args) {  

new Simple();  

}  

}
