}}</ref> The "Java Foundation Classes" were later renamed "Swing."{{Clarify|date=May 2024|reason=The JFC FAQ page at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/foundation-classes-faq.html describes Swing as being one component of the JFC alongside AWT etc. This was my understanding: that Swing is one part of the JFC rather than the two being synonymous. Are they sometimes treated as such because the changes to Java that added the JFC are the same ones that added Swing, so it's a little blurred? Are there any sources we can cite with regard to this claim that the JFC were renamed to Swing? I think JFC is a term currently in use.}}
Swing introduced a mechanism that allowed the [[look and feel]] of every component in an application to be altered without making substantial changes to the application code. The introduction of support for a [[pluggable look and feel]] allows Swing components to emulate the appearance of native components while still retaining the benefits of platform independence.
