| Package | Description | 
|---|---|
| java.awt | Contains all of the classes for creating user
interfaces and for painting graphics and images. | 
| java.awt.dnd | Drag and Drop is a direct manipulation gesture found in many Graphical
User Interface systems that provides a mechanism to transfer
information between two entities logically associated with presentation
elements in the GUI. | 
| javax.swing | Provides a set of "lightweight"
(all-Java language) components that,
to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. | 
| javax.swing.border | Provides classes and interface for drawing
specialized borders around a Swing component. | 
| javax.swing.plaf | Provides one interface and many abstract classes that
Swing uses to provide its pluggable look-and-feel capabilities. | 
| javax.swing.plaf.basic | Provides user interface objects built according to the
Basic look and feel. | 
| javax.swing.plaf.metal | Provides user interface objects built according to
the Java look and feel (once codenamed Metal),
which is the default look and feel. | 
| javax.swing.plaf.nimbus | Provides user interface objects built according to the cross-platform
Nimbus look and feel. | 
| javax.swing.plaf.synth | 
 Synth is a skinnable look and feel in which all painting is
 delegated. | 
| javax.swing.text | Provides classes and interfaces that deal with editable
and noneditable text components. |
