Controls and javax.swing packages and classes

Every user interface considers the following three main aspects −

• UI Elements − These are the core visual elements the user eventually sees and interacts with. GWT provides a huge list of widely used and common elements varying from basic to complex, which we will cover in this tutorial.
• Layouts − They define how UI elements should be organized on the screen and provide a final look and feel to the GUI (Graphical User Interface). This part will be covered in the Layout chapter.
• Behavior − These are the events which occur when the user interacts with UI elements. This part will be covered in the Event Handling chapter.

Every SWING controls inherits properties from the following Component class hiearchy.

S.No.	Class & Description
1	Component A Component is the abstract base class for the non menu user-interface controls of SWING. Component represents an object with graphical representation
2	Container A Container is a component that can contain other SWING components
3	JComponent A JComponent is a base class for all SWING UI components. In order to use a SWING component that inherits from JComponent, the component must be in a containment hierarchy whose root is a top-level SWING container
