Which of these three technologies is used most often in web applets?
If the authors have the mistaken impression that
coding in AWT will provide support for 'all browsers'
(read 'IE + the other one'), they might stick to the
limited number of GUI components available in the
AWT.
If the authors are realistic and need split panes,
trees, table support.., they will use either Swing
or SWT - which both have a richer GUI
component set than AWT.
Swing & AWT both come 'packaged with Java' and
therefore you can get a Swing/AWT based applet
that is <10Kb.
If using SWT in an applet, OTOH, the SWT jar needs
to be downloaded as a separate archive (transparently
to the user - but taking longer). I have neve seen an
actual SWT based applet.
For that reason I would say - the majority (ever increasing)
are Swing, a shrinking number are AWT, & theoretically,
you might find one or two that use SWT.
But why do you want to know that?
I am working on an application that must interface with every other application
type.
What about Swing/SWT/AWT *applications*?
