GTK (GNU Widget Toolkit) is a widget toolkit common in Linux and modern Unix environments. It is freely-licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, and used to create notable programs such as GIMP, Mozilla Firefox, and Pidgin.

AWT (Abstract Widget Toolkit) is a widget toolkit used by many Java applications.The widgets themselves normally take on characteristics of widgets from the host operating system (be it Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux), though it can also use Swing to provide its own user interface.

When used in conjunction with each other, it probably refers to libraries used by the Java program to provide a GTK look and feel on a Linux or Unix system.
