JFC supports ROBUST and portable user interfaces. The Swing CLASSES are robust, compatible with AWT, and provide you with a great deal of control over a user INTERFACE. Since source code is available, it is relatively easy to extend the JFC to do exactly what you need it to do. But the number of third­party controls written for Swing is still relatively small.
WFC runs only on the Windows (32­bit) user interface, and uses Microsoft extensions to Java for event handling and ActiveX integration. Because ActiveX components are available to WFC programs, there are theoretically more controls available for WFC than for JFC. In PRACTICE, HOWEVER, most ActiveX vendors do not actively support WFC, so the number of controls available for WFC is probably smaller than for JFC. The WFC programming model is closely aligned with the Windows platform.
