# Swing

Swing implements a set of components for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and adding rich graphics functionality and interactivity to Java applications. The Swing components are implemented entirely in the Java programming language. The pluggable look and feel lets you create GUIs that can either look the same across platforms or can assume the look and feel of the current OS platform (such as Microsoft Windows, Solaris™ or Linux).
