why swing is called light weight container

Swing isn't a light weight container, it *uses* light weight containers and components.
The old AWT uses heavy weight containers and components. Google for the
meaning of 'light weight' and 'heavy weight' or read an appropriate tutorial.

In ordinary terms that means: either use Swing or AWT; not both.
