By Aastha Verma

This is a small project that creates a Text Editor using Java awt and Java Swing. It can be easily run on any Java compiler

If you're looking to learn Java Swing and AWT, this project is a great resource.

AWT, or Abstract Window Toolkit, is an API for creating GUI or Windows-based Java programs. One thing to note is that AWT components are platform-dependent, meaning they're shown by the operating system's view. Because AWT is resource-intensive, its components use resources from the underlying OS.

You can find classes for the AWT API in the Java AWT package, including TextField, Label, TextArea, RadioButton, CheckBox, Choice, List, and more. Java Swing, a component of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC), is used to develop window-based applications.

It's built-in Java and based on the AWT API. Java Swing offers platform-independent and lightweight components.
