Internet Foundation Classes
     
         (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.
