The Abstract Windowing Toolkit provides Java's fundamental graphics capability. You can program the AWT directly, or you can use other packages such as Swing if you want to write your applications at a higher level. The AWT is most often used for interactive applications, either for providing local GUIs or applets, but it can also be used as a painting tool for the production of .jpg or .png outputs.

Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs)

2654	Java - from applets to servlets. JSPs and more When Java first came out in the mid 1990s, its main focus was on Applets - embedded chunks of applications that ran (and still run!) in a frame within a browser's window in much the same say that an image or flash movie is framed. Java has progressed. It now has a far bigger 'market' in a whole range ...	2010-03-03
2245	Client side (Applet) and Server side (Servlet) Graphics in Java What is the current release of Java? Is it Java 1.6, Java 2 (1.6) or Java 6? Yes it is - they're all different names for the same thing! Java started out as Java 1.0 ... and since code that would run on that Virtual Machine / written in that language will still run on today's version, it's still technically ...	2009-06-22
1325	Java - Client side applet applications as well as server side Java started off as being a client side language - and our first (1996) course concentrated on Applets and the awt - Abstract Windowing Toolkit - to which Swing was added quite soon. But Applets took off slowly, whereas Servlets - Java as a server side language - grew by leaps and bounds and our courses ...	2007-08-30
