<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 Foundation
Classes, which provide a standardised framework for
developing powerful Java applications.
