==Relationship to AWT==
 
Since early versions of Java, a portion of the [[Abstract Windowing TookitToolkit]] has provided platform independent APIs for user interface components. In [[Abstract Windowing Toolkit|AWT]], each component is rendered and controlled by a native peer component specific to the underlying Windowing system.
 
By contrast, Swing components are often described as lightweight because they do not require allocation of native resources in the operating system's windowing toolkit.
