The Swing Packages

By Dinesh Thakur

Some of the packages of swing components that are used most are the following:

• Javax.swing

• javax.swing.event

• javax.swing.plaf.basic

• javax.swing.table

• javax.swing.border

• javax.swing.tree

 

The largest of the swing packages, javax.swing, contains most of the user-interface classes (these are J classes, the classes having the prefix J). JTableHeader and JTextComponent are the exceptional classes implemented in the packages javax.swing.table and javax.swing.text, respectively. javax.swing.text contains two sub-packages known as javax.swing.text.html and javax.swing.text.rtf used for HTMLcontent and for Rich Text Format content, respectively.

To define the look and feel of the swing component, the javax.swing.plaf.basic package is used. javax.swing.border contains an interface called Border which is implemented by all the border classes. These classes cannot be instantiated directly. They are instantiated using the factory method (BorderFactory) defined in the javax.swing package. The javax.swing.event package contains all the classes that are used for event handling. The javax.swing.tree package includes classes and interfaces that are specific to the JTree component.

There are totally 16 packages in the swings packages and javax.swing is one of them. A brief description of all the packages in swing is given below.
