Graphical user interfaces can be developed in different ways. This paper discusses several specific frameworks utilizing the Java Foundation Classes, or Swing. While most of the paper is targeted towards UI developers, there are features such as the Session which have general applications. The goals in using common frameworks and methodologies include being able to quickly understand code written by others and being able to reuse code easily; both reduce maintenance burdens.

The first topic covers the ui package which contains general classes that can be used in every application. Then, Actions are introduced which encapsulate behavior in a single class that can be bound to multiple UI elements. Other topics which are not necessarily UI-specific include Sessions (an MVC or Model-View-Controller implementation), and error handling.
