Not much to tell you the truth. The version that uses Swing components shows different messages in different colors and the controls look a little more niftier. As of 01/12/2002, the Swing version also supports emoticons and clickable URL labels. However, some browsers will require a plug-in to be downloaded before they can use the Swing component version. Hence the other version that uses the AWT components was written for those folks who do not want to download the plug-in. To learn more about Swing components, click here.
