Internet Foundation Classes

language, library, programming, standard (IFC) A library

of classes used in the creation of Java applets with

GUIs.

Created by Netscape, the Internet Foundation Classes provide

GUI elements, as well as classes for Applications Services,

Security, Messaging, and Distributed Objects.

The IFC code, which is exclusively Java, is layered on top of

the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT), thus preserving

platform independence.

The AWT and IFC collectively form the Java FoundationClasses, which provide a standardised framework for

developing powerful Java applications.
