Why can not I mix AWT and Swing?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are findamental incompatibilities in the way they draw
themselves.
AWT java classes are not "pure" Java classes, they use
underlaying C/C++ native code (dependable on
operation system) that can cause different appearence in
different OSs.
Swing is pure Java implementation and has no native code at all.
Swing applications look the same.

results,

Some objects drawn on top of others are not properly occluded.
This is most obvious with drop down
menus, which have a tendency to stay visible even after you have
selected a menu item. Another
problem is that if you use AWT components on a JTabbedPane they
will not disappear when you switch
tabs. There are many similar issues.
