I hate that statement. At least that statement unqualified.
- Every Swing component extends an AWT component
- The vast majority of layouts are AWT
- Keyboard, Window, Mouse, Action.. events all
originate from the AWT
- D'n'D is all in the AWT..

Learners get the impression that they can ignore all
of the AWT if they are working with Swing, but you
just need to look at the imports of most Swing code
to realise how much of 'Swing' programming requires
a broad knowledge of the AWT.

Yep.
