Java Swing Practice Exam

About Java Swing
Java Swing tutorial is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that is used to create window-based applications. It is built on the top of AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) API and entirely written in java.

Unlike AWT, Java Swing provides platform-independent and lightweight components.

The javax.swing package provides classes for java swing API such as JButton, JTextField, JTextArea, JRadioButton, JCheckbox, JMenu, JColorChooser etc.

Swing is a platform-independent, "model–view–controller" GUI framework for Java, which follows a single-threaded programming model. Additionally, this framework provides a layer of abstraction between the code structure and graphic presentation of a Swing-based GUI.

Why is Java Swing important?

Swing has the following advantages
•    Provides both additional functionalities and added components to AWT-replacement components
•    Swing components are platform-independent.
•    Swing components can use a different look and feel.
•    Swing components use the Model-View-Controller paradigm (MVC) and thus can provide a much more flexible UI.
•    Swing components are lightweight (are less resource-intensive than AWT).
•    Swing provides built-in double buffering.
•    Swing provides paint debugging support for when you build your own components.
