Project Swing (Java Foundation Classes) Software

Project Swing is the part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) software that implements a set of GUI components with a pluggable look and feel. Project Swing is implemented entirely in the Java programming language, and is based on the JDK 1.1 Lightweight UI Framework. The pluggable look and feel lets you design a single set of GUI components that can automatically have the look and feel of any OS platform (Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Macintosh). Project Swing components include both 100% Pure Java certified versions of the existing AWT component set (Button, Scrollbar, Label, etc.), plus a rich set of higher-level components (such as tree view, list box, and tabbed panes).
