Mixing AWT and Swing

[bergel]

Hello,

Does anyone already have some experience in mixing AWT and Swing? Is it
conceptually doable?
Does the design of Swing prevent interaction between an AWT and a Swing
widget?

Regards,
Alexandre

This is officially a "bad idea" as AWT components are heavyweight (i.e.
native) components and Swing components are lightweight components.

Of course, it is impossible to use Swing without using parts of the AWT
library. You just shouldn't use both types of components.
