What’s the Big Deal?

• HelloWorld looks similar to AWT. Why switch to JFrame, JButton, JPanel, etc?

• Benefits:

  • speed
  • lightweight flexibility (transparency, non-rectangular shape)
  • pluggable look and feel
  • automatic double buffering with many J- components.
  • additional functionality (e.g., tooltips, etc.)

I need Windows(tm)

to be visible and

‘toggle’. I’m slow.

I’m lightweight,

pluggable, extensible

and fast. The VM

draws me.
