AWT or Abstract Windowing Toolkit is a graphics and windowing library made by Sun Microsystems for Java. It provides easily reproducible constructs for things like buttons, text areas, and menus. It also can handle GUI events and user events (keyboard, mouse, drag-and-drop). Layout managers are also available to aid GUI construction. It has been effectively replaced with Swing, which updated AWT's look and feel.
