This is important:<br />

The base difference that which already everyone mentioned is that One is heavy weight and other is light weight. Let me explain, bacially what the term heavy weight means is that when you are using the awt components the native code used for getting the view component is generated by the Operating System, thats why it the look and feel changes from OS to OS. Where as in swing components its the responsibility of JVM to generate the view for the components. Another statement which i saw is that swing is MVC based and awt is not.

This is about Swing and SWT <br />
but if you are startin, I'd rather star with Swing - it is much more common<br />

I came across &quot;Swing&quot; and &quot;AWT&quot; while searching the net. Is &quot;Swing&quot; still the newest, and if so what's better about it? Is &quot;AWT&quot; ever used, and if so why?Are there any other types of Java GUIs out there?

I came across "Swing" and "AWT" while searching the net. Is "Swing" still the newest, and if so what's better about it? Is "AWT" ever used, and if so why?Are there any other types of Java GUIs out there?

What types of Java GUIs are out there and when are they typically used?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
