In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a basic window using Java AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit).

Java AWT provides a set of classes for creating and managing graphical user interfaces (GUI) components such as windows, buttons, and text fields.

To create a window using Java AWT, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Import the required classes

First, we need to import the necessary classes from the java.awt package:

import java.awt.Frame;

Step 2: Create the main class

Next, we create a class that extends the Frame class and acts as our main window:

public class MainWindow extends Frame {
    
    public MainWindow() {
        // Set the title of the window
        setTitle("My Window");
        
        // Set the size of the window
        setSize(400, 300);
        
        // Make the window visible
        setVisible(true);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
    }
}

Step 3: Run the application

To run the application, compile and execute the MainWindow class. You should see a window titled “My Window” with a size of 400 pixels wide and 300 pixels tall.

That’s it! You have successfully created a basic window using Java AWT.

Conclusion

Java AWT provides a simple way to create windows and other GUI components in Java. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can quickly create and customize your own windows using AWT.
