For example, in Swing, only use JButton, never Button class. As mentioned above, the AWT core classes, such as Color and Font, are still used as-is in Swing. When drawing in Swing, use JPanel and override paintComponent(Graphics g) instead of using the AWT paint() methods. Before Java 6 Update 12, mixing Swing components and basic AWT widgets ...
SWTSwing is a project to provide a Swing back end for SWT. In effect, SWT could be run using Swing native objects instead of, for example, GTK or Windows native objects. This would enable SWT to work on every platform that Swing supports. [21] Starting in 2006, there was an SWT-3.2 port to the programming language D called DWT. [22]
The AWT Native Interface is designed to give developers access to an AWT Canvas for direct drawing with native code. In fact, the Java 3D API extension to the standard Java SE JDK relies heavily on the AWT Native Interface to render 3D objects in Java. The AWT Native Interface is very similar to the JNI, and the steps are the same as those of ...
Swing is a highly modular-based architecture, which allows for the "plugging" of various custom implementations of specified framework interfaces: Users can provide their own custom implementation(s) of these components to override the default implementations using Java's inheritance mechanism via LookAndFeel.
In addition to the fill operation, Java 2D provides a draw operation. While fill draws the interior of a shape, draw draws its outline. The outline can be as simple as a thin line, or as complicated as a dashed line with each dash having rounded edges. The object responsible for generating the outline is the stroke. Given an input shape, the ...
Though AWT and Swing expose the (thread unsafe) methods to create and access the GUI components and these methods are visible to all application threads, likewise in other GUI frameworks, only a single, Event Dispatching thread has the right to execute these methods.
The "Java Foundation Classes" were later renamed "Swing", adding the capability for a pluggable look and feel of the widgets. This allowed Swing programs to maintain a platform-independent code base, but mimic the look of a native application. The release of JFC made IFC obsolete, and dropped interest for Microsoft's AFC.
Pluggable look and feel is a mechanism used in the Java Swing widget toolkit allowing to change the look and feel of the graphical user interface at runtime.. Swing allows an application to specialize the look and feel of widgets by modifying the default (via runtime parameters), deriving from an existing one, by creating one from scratch, or, beginning with J2SE 5.0, by using the skinnable ...
