Java is a powerful programming language that is right at home in standalone desktop applications and complex enterprise-level web applications. It is a popular programming language for computer science students because it incorporates just about every key concept of modern object-oriented programming yet remains relatively easy to learn.
The Swing toolkit offers developers a platform-independent, customizable, configurable, and lightweight solution that can easily be incorporated into practically any Java program. The toolkit offers basic components like buttons and labels as well as advanced features including trees and tables. The entire toolkit is written in Java and is part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). The JFC is a collection of packages designed to create fully featured desktop applications. Other components of the JFC include AWT, Accessibility, Java 2-D, and Drag and Drop.
