Where do u think is SSSSSwing being used ?
However if u r preparing for SCJP1.4 u wont have to think of applet stuff.

B -
The old version of the exam, SCJP 1.2 covered I/O and AWT. The new (well not so new anymore ), version of the exam, SCJP 1.4 does NOT cover I/O or AWT or Swing for that matter. I suppose you might want to take the 1.2 exam but I'd guess for 998 people out of 1000 you should be taking the 1.4 exam.

AWT is old version of GUI-components (widgets)
Swing is not AWT
AWT is not Swing.
I had used both of them. Swing is much better at all aspects, on my humble opinion.
Swing is not Applet.
AWT is not Applet.
java.awt
javax.swing - corresponding packages
