so i now awt is the old version. which is Applet
swing is the new version which is JApplet.

code at bottom, is it normal to mix awt and swing? for ex i am using continer which is awt. and let say i dont want to mix awt with swing so is there a way to use continer in swing??

 import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.ButtonGroup;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JCheckBox;
import javax.swing.JList;


public class j_01_FLOW_06 extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{

    JCheckBox f = new JCheckBox("f");
    JCheckBox g = new JCheckBox("g");
    JCheckBox cb_computer = new JCheckBox("Computer");

    String s_value[]={"white sox","red sox","mets","cordianls","blue jays"};
    JList l_list = new JList(s_value);

    Container c;
    FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout();


    public void init()
    {
        c = getContentPane();
        c.setLayout(flow);


        c.add(f);
        c.add(g);
        c.add(cb_computer);
        c.add(l_list);

        cb_ikhlas.addActionListener(this);
        cb_ahmed.addActionListener(this);
        cb_computer.addActionListener(this);
    }


    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
    {
        boolean selected = cb_ikhlas.isSelected();

        if(selected == true) //if check box is selected
        {
            Object[] string = f.getSelectedObjects();
            System.out.println(string);
        }

    }
}

Swing was built on top of AWT, so there are a few AWT classes that you still use with swing because there was no need to replace them. Container is one that you still use; your code is OK.
