JFC Swing

FC is short for Java Foundation Classes, which encompass a group of features for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and adding rich graphics functionality and interactivity to Java applications.


"Swing" was the code name of the project that developed the new components. Although unofficial, it's frequently used to refer to the new components and related API. "Swing" is immortalized in the package names for the Swing API, which begin with javax.swing.
