<p>The <b>Abstract Window Toolkit</b> (<b>AWT</b>) is <a href="Java_(programming_language)" title="Java (programming language)">Java</a>'s original platform-dependent <a href="Windowing_system" title="Windowing system">windowing</a>, <a href="Graphic" class="mw-redirect" title="Graphic">graphics</a>, and <a href="User-interface" class="mw-redirect" title="User-interface">user-interface</a> <a href="Widget_toolkit" title="Widget toolkit">widget toolkit</a>, preceding <a href="Swing_(Java)" title="Swing (Java)">Swing</a>. The AWT is part of the <a href="Java_Foundation_Classes" title="Java Foundation Classes">Java Foundation Classes</a> (JFC) — the standard <a href="Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">API</a> for providing a <a href="Graphical_user_interface" title="Graphical user interface">graphical user interface</a> (GUI) for a Java program.<sup id="cite_ref-foldoc_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-foldoc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> AWT is also the GUI toolkit for a number of <a href="Java_Platform%2C_Micro_Edition" title="Java Platform, Micro Edition">Java ME</a> profiles. For example, <a href="Connected_Device_Configuration" title="Connected Device Configuration">Connected Device Configuration</a> profiles require Java <a href="Software_execution" class="mw-redirect" title="Software execution">runtimes</a> on <a href="Mobile_telephone" class="mw-redirect" title="Mobile telephone">mobile telephones</a> to support the Abstract Window Toolkit.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>When <a href="Sun_Microsystems" title="Sun Microsystems">Sun Microsystems</a> first released Java in 1995, AWT widgets provided a thin level of abstraction over the underlying native user-interface. For example, creating an AWT <a href="Check_box" class="mw-redirect" title="Check box">check box</a> would cause AWT directly to call the underlying native subroutine that created a check box. However, the check box on <a href="Windows" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows">Windows</a> is not the same as the check box on <a href="MacOS" title="MacOS">macOS</a> or on the various types of <a href="Unix" title="Unix">Unix</a>. Some application developers prefer this model because it provides a high degree of fidelity to the underlying native windowing toolkit and seamless integration with native applications. In other words, a GUI program written using AWT looks like a native Microsoft Windows application when run on Windows, but the same program looks like a native <a href="Apple_Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Apple Macintosh">Apple Macintosh</a> application when run on a Mac, etc. However, some application developers dislike this model because they prefer their applications to look exactly the same on every platform.

</p><p>In <a href="Java_Platform%2C_Standard_Edition" title="Java Platform, Standard Edition">J2SE 1.2</a>, the <a href="Swing_(Java)" title="Swing (Java)">Swing</a> toolkit largely superseded the AWT's widgets. In addition to providing a richer set of UI widgets, Swing draws its own widgets (by using <a href="Java_2D" title="Java 2D">Java 2D</a> to call into low-level subroutines in the local graphics subsystem) instead of relying on the operating system's high-level user interface module. Swing provides the option of using either the native platform's <a href="Look_and_feel#Look_and_Feel_in_Widget_Toolkits" title="Look and feel">"look and feel"</a> or a cross-platform look and feel (the "Java Look and Feel") that looks the same on all windowing systems.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Architecture">Architecture</h2></div>

<p>The AWT provides two levels of <a href="Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">APIs</a>:

</p>

<ul><li>A general interface between Java and the native system, used for <a href="Windowing_system" title="Windowing system">windowing</a>, <a href="Event-driven_programming" title="Event-driven programming">events</a>, and <a href="Layout_manager" title="Layout manager">layout managers</a>. This API is at the core of Java <a href="Graphical_user_interface" title="Graphical user interface">GUI</a> programming and is also used by <a href="Swing_(Java)" title="Swing (Java)">Swing</a> and <a href="Java_2D" title="Java 2D">Java 2D</a>. It contains:

<ul><li>The interface between the native windowing system and the Java application;</li>

<li>The core of the GUI <a href="Event-driven_programming" title="Event-driven programming">event</a> subsystem;</li>

<li>Several <a href="Layout_manager" title="Layout manager">layout managers</a>;</li>

<li>The interface to <a href="Input_device" title="Input device">input devices</a> such as <a href="Mouse_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mouse (computing)">mouse</a> and <a href="Keyboard_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Keyboard (computing)">keyboard</a>; and</li>

<li>A <code><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/datatransfer/package-summary.html">java.awt.datatransfer</a></code> <a href="Java_package" title="Java package">package</a> for use with the <a href="Clipboard_(software)" class="mw-redirect" title="Clipboard (software)">Clipboard</a> and <a href="Drag_and_drop" title="Drag and drop">Drag and Drop</a>.</li></ul></li>

<li>A basic set of GUI widgets such as buttons, text boxes, and menus. It also provides the <a href="Java_AWT_Native_Interface" title="Java AWT Native Interface">AWT Native Interface</a>, which enables <a href="Rendering_(computer_graphics)" title="Rendering (computer graphics)">rendering</a> <a href="Library_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Library (computer science)">libraries</a> compiled to <a href="Native_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Native code">native code</a> to draw directly to an AWT <code><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/Canvas.html">Canvas</a></code> <a href="Object_(computer_science)" title="Object (computer science)">object</a> drawing surface.</li></ul>

<p>AWT also makes some higher level functionality available to applications, such as:

</p>

<ul><li>Access to the <a href="System_tray" class="mw-redirect" title="System tray">system tray</a> on supporting systems; and</li>

<li>The ability to launch some desktop applications such as <a href="Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browsers</a> and <a href="Mail_client" class="mw-redirect" title="Mail client">email clients</a> from a Java application.</li></ul>

<p>Neither AWT nor Swing is inherently <a href="Thread_safety" title="Thread safety">thread safe</a>. Therefore, code that updates the GUI or processes events should execute on the <a href="Event_dispatching_thread" title="Event dispatching thread">Event dispatching thread</a>. Failure to do so may result in a <a href="Deadlock_(computer_science)" title="Deadlock (computer science)">deadlock</a> or race condition. To address this problem, a utility class called <a href="SwingWorker" title="SwingWorker">SwingWorker</a> allows applications to perform time-consuming tasks following user-interaction events in the event dispatching thread.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mixing_AWT_and_Swing_components">Mixing AWT and Swing components</h2></div>

<p>Where there is a Swing version of an AWT component it will begin with J- and should be used exclusively, replacing the AWT version. For example, in Swing, only use JButton, never Button class. As mentioned above, the AWT core classes, such as Color and Font, are still used as-is in Swing.

</p><p>When drawing in Swing, use JPanel and override paintComponent(Graphics g) instead of using the AWT paint() methods.

</p><p>Before <a href="Java_version_history#Java_SE_6" title="Java version history">Java 6 Update 12</a>, mixing <a href="Swing_(Java)" title="Swing (Java)">Swing</a> components and basic AWT widgets often resulted in undesired side effects, with AWT widgets appearing on top of the Swing widgets regardless of their defined <a href="Z-order" title="Z-order">z-order</a>. This problem was because the rendering architecture of the two widget toolkits was very different, despite Swing borrowing heavyweight top <a href="Container_(data_structure)" class="mw-redirect" title="Container (data structure)">containers</a> from AWT.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Starting in <a href="Java_version_history#Java_SE_6" title="Java version history">Java 6 Update 12</a>, it is possible to mix Swing and AWT widgets without having z-order problems.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>As the AWT is a bridge to the underlying native user-interface, its implementation on a new <a href="Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> may involve a lot of work, especially if it involves any of the AWT GUI widgets, because each of them requires that its native peers be developed from scratch.
