  I have two questions about the new pre-beta JDK awt package. 

 a] I'd like to know how the awt class hierarchy is supposed to work. 
    Is there a similar user interface that I can look up or a good
   book I can read to understand the awt architecture ? 

   The html documentation of the awt   classes doesn't explain the
   overall design philosophy and this is making it hard for me to
   figure out how to use the classes. I have a Design Patterns book
   that explains some of the ideas like components and containers. 


 b] Could some kind soul please send me an example of a standalone
    java program(not an applet) that creates a window on the screen
    and draws a line in the window ?

   I am running Solaris 2.3 and X11.


 Thanks,
