NX: Use of awt components for user interface

[Tatiana Hyde]

My instructions specify that the user interface:

must be composed exclusively with components from the Java Foundation Classes (Swing components)

Does this mean that AWT components should not be used?
I would like to use the Dimension and Toolkit classes to write code that centres a frame on the screen. Does anyone think this will result in a failure?
Thanks,
TH

Hi Tatiana,

No, it means that where there's a Swing component and AWT component use the Swing component. For example, use JFrame instead of Frame.

No, you're OK, because there are no new Swing versions of these classes. I used both these classes and lost no points from the GUI score.
