Hi!
The main difference between awt and swing is, that awt uses native methods of the OS to display GUI-components whereas swing draws most of the components by itself.

Brother Dirk has already explained a main difference between the two. Sun's Overview of the Swing API explains some more differences.
Good Luck.
