Internet Foundation Classes
IFC

    (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.
