The original graphics classes of Java Ð the AWT Ð provide functionallity at a very low level. A lot of coding effort is required to provide even a simple GUI. The Swing classes are built on top of the AWT and largely suplant it; they provide much higher level components so that you can rapidly bolt together the look, feel and functionallity for a graphic-driven application.
