A framework for discussion is an agenda.
Lightweight framework do not have to depend on framework interfaces or abstract classes to hook or instantiate components into them.Heavyweight frameworks on the other hand require the extension of framework classes or the implementation of framework interfaces in order to take advantage of their middleware features.This means that a lot of classes are instantiated and hooked on to your application when they may not be even required!!
The work of framing, or the completed work; the frame or constructional part of anything; as, the framework of society., Work done in, or by means of, a frame or loom.
The .NET Framework runtime is free. Version 3.5 is available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en To develop programs with the .NET Framework, you need Microsoft Visual Studio. Microsoft Visual Studio Express, a lightweight version, is free. The more advanced editions are not.
The basic difference between Swing and AWT is that Swing APIs are purely Java libraries i.e. they don't at all depend on the native libraries to draw graphical components. Because of this feature they provide a consistent look and feel on all platforms. AWT libraries require the support of native graphics libraries and some of their GUI components look different on different platforms. Moreover, Swing components are not inherently Thread safe, you explicitly have to write synchronized code to manipulate or redraw them whereas AWT components can be trusted in a multithreaded environment. AWT Components are called heavyweight components because of their dependency on native libraries. Swing components are called lightweight due to their independence of native libraries. Hence Swing operations are much faster because each and every operation is taken care by the Java runtime env and no delegation of events or commands to the native libraries is required.

A wikiup is a relatively small, temporary, round dwelling of the Apache Indians of the American Southwest; could be reassembled relatively easily and quickly; had a lightweight framework formed by saplings lashed together at their tops so as to form either a domed structure or a conical structure. Additional poles were placed along the sides of the framework to provide added structural strength; the framework was covered with a matting.
