- Most interactions in a Java GUI are with Components.
- Another generic term for Component in other GUIs (e.g. X Windows) is "widget".
- Different types of components for different types of
interaction (e.g. buttons, etc.)
- User interactions with components create events (thus, event-driven programming)
- As a rule, components cannot have
other components added to them
- Exception to rule: pop up menus may
have menu items added to them.
