Features: Swing is a development toolkit for creating user interfaces for Java applications. Based on the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), it allows cross-platform applications to use any pluggable look and feel. Swing developers can create elegant user interfaces with minimal code by leveraging its rich, flexible features and modular components. JavaSwing (Second Edition) covers all the features of Java 2 SDK 1.3 and 1.4. This book is not only a reference but also a true guide, written by developers for developers, featuring numerous practical examples of varying difficulty levels that nearly cover every Swing component. These features mean that Swing has a lot to learn. Setting aside its platform flexibility, Swing is more in-depth than any other user interface toolkit.
