Is AWT obsoleted
[296 byte] By [youhaodiyia] at [2007-11-27 8:48:26] 
Swing has become the most popular GUI technology for java program. Althought Swing is based on AWT, developers don't use AWT component in their project. Does that mean Swing components has replaced AWT components? Is there any condition that only AWT components can do while Swing can't?

AWT is more useful when dealing with java deployment on mobile devices such as handheld, PDA. This is because special JVM (for CLDC), for example IBM J9 doesn't support Swing. Besides, it is nearly impossible to run Swing application on mobile devices due to performance problem, AWT or SWT is preferred.
