AWT vs SWING vs JAVA 2D vs JFC


Hi,
can you please describe or show me the path to find the difference
among 4. (mentioned in subject line)

The basic difference i know, what i want is how to decide when to use
what?
In my view, awt is used no where these days.
swing and Java 2D (what is this?) are used mostly but which to choose
for my application, how to decide? and What is JFC all about?


sometimes it becomes very confusing.
Can anyone throw some light on these terms.


- Thanks
Nehil
