Hello,
I'm having basic doubt. Why the Swings are light weight and AWT are heavy weight?. What is the basic different between " Heavy weight component and Light weight component", and also what is "peer" class. Please porvide me answer with exaples.

A heavyweight component is one that is associated with its own native screen resource (commonly known as a peer). A lightweight component is one that "borrows" the screen resource of an ancestor (which means it has no native resource of its own -- so it's "lighter").
