Re: list of java guis

HI,

I'm a programmer, but have very little experience with java (school).
Recently, I was asked about java GUIs. What are the most common GUIs
used, and the most supported?

My next question may be off topic, but I'm not sure how it fits into
the GUI libraries. When you talk abou java, you here references to
jdk, javabeans, etc. What are they, and what is the difference? Are
they compilers, environments? Any explanation or links would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

well there are afaik 3 types of Java-GUI:

- AWT (oldest gui, should work with all versions of java, fast, looks imho ugly ;-) )

- Swing (newer than AWT, delivered with the newer Java Version (I forgot which it was), more GUI-Compenents than AWT, platform-independent look & feel ---> that means you can choose the look, slow on old Computers)
Consider http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/ for more information)

- SWT (faster than SWING, afaik developed by IBM, not delivered with the standard jdk, SWT-Applications run afaik only on the OS, which they are developed with)

- JDK (the java development kit is a package which contains some Basic java-classes consider "http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/";, the java-compiler "javac" to compile java-sourcecode, the java interpreter "java" to run compiled java classes and some additional tools....

Btw. www.java.sun.com where you should find everything you need ;-)

I dont know anything about Javabeans :-(

Hope this helps
Joe
