The Java 2 user interface (3527 words)
JFC refers to the entire set of graphical and user interface technologies included in the Java 2 platform, including AWT and Swing.
Before the Java 2 platform, graphical capabilities in the language were rather primitive, limited to solid lines of single-pixel thickness; a few geometric shapes such as ovals, arcs, and polygons; and basic image-drawing functionality.
This class will provide the public API calls to query and set numerous aspects of the focus state, such as which component currently has the focus and the order of components in a focus traversal cycle.
What is Java (3691 words)
The JVM is the translator and facilitator of communication between Java applets and applications, and the native environment that the Java Platform is running on.
Java Accessibility API and Utilities: The API is built directly into the Swing UI classes, the Utilities include sample "assistive technologies", Java-to-native platform bridge, and AWT translators.
Programs built with the JFC are not tied to a specific representation of their information (e.g., a specific list box, menu bar, or push button), but can instead allow its presentation to be programmatically determined, and can be chosen by the user.
