Enhancements are aimed at solving some major AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) deficiencies with a strong focus on quality and performance. The AWT enhancements will include the beginnings of a richer infrastructure for larger-scale GUI development, including APIs for printing, easier/faster scrolling, popup menus, clipboard (copy/paste), cursors per component, a delegation-based event model, imaging and graphics enhancements, and more flexible font support for internationalization. Additionally, the Windows (Win32) version of AWT has been completely re-written for improved speed, quality, and consistency with the other platforms.AWT Guide
