Main differences between AWT and kAWT

The main differenced between AWT and kAWT are:

• kAWT supports only one event listener of each type per Component. If more listeners are really needed for a certain application, a simple dispatcher can be used as workaround.
• Like Swing, most kAWTcalls are not thread-safe. In order to allow kAWT-usage in multi-threaded applications, since version 0.95 kAWT allows thread-safe event-queue-entries, similar to the Swing "invoke later" mechanism and fully compatible to AWT. Use java.awt.EvenQueue to access this mechanism.
• Similar to Swing, all kAWT components are lightweight component written in pure Java, leading to simpler code portability.
