I'm getting into Java, and have a couple of questions...

I want to make the most of my time by using tools that are portable and
current.  I thought I remember reading somewhere that Swing components
are replacing AWT.  Is there any truth to that?  What is the
relationship between Swing and AWT?

I just purchased JBuilder 2, and have that on my machine along with the
JDK (1.2 beta).  If I set up JBuilder 2 to use only JDK and Swing
classes, does that mean it will be portable?

Thanks for any help.
