Autores ResumoIf you are writing applications which will run specifically on a Windows PC it is very likely that you will use the Windows Foundation Classes. The WFC has been widely used by Windows programmers for several years and has good performance and a high degree of functionality. Most of the things that you can do using the WFC can be achieved using the Abstract Windowing Toolkit, but the AWT is not as mature and does not have as extensive a range of classes and methods as the WFC. The main benefit of using the AWT is that your application will be portable to any platform. Portability was one of the main reasons why Java gained such wide acceptance, so it does seem odd Microsoft have included the facility to write Windows specific code. However, it is a facility which will be used and help Java to make further inroads into application areas where developers would previously have used Visual C++.
