In Java, what is the Abstract Windowing Toolkit?
The Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is the basic set of Java classes used to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Java applets and applications. Using the AWT, programmers have tools for creating common graphical objects such as windows, dialog boxes, buttons, areas in which to manipulate text, and much more. The AWT also specifies an event handling model which enables a program to respond to the keystrokes and mouse-clicks entered by a user.
