.awt or .swing?

Swing is an extension of the awt package. Do not use both as not only will your code be inconsistent but there are interoperability issues. The java tutorial may expand a little on this but it definately states that you should use one and one only.
Personally I would use Swing. Swing components are more featured and developed over awt. You just need to compare Button with JButton (all swing components start with J....) or FileChooser with JFileChooser.

Swing wigets are light weight components. It is definitly the way to go. It is much faster (due to not thread safe and light weight).
