The toolkit based on native widgets existed before Swing. It was called AWT.
- n3dst4 9y agoAWT wasn't native either - it just had one ugly appearance and couldn't be themed. I seem to recall it kind of resembled Sun's CDE (Common Desktop Environment) so it would have look sort of at home on Solaris.
- pvg 9y agoAWT uses native widgets.
- hota_mazi 9y agoAWT isn't native, it uses peers. The fact that Swing ended up being such a massive failure was in good parts due to the fact that Swing is built on top of AWT.
