Internet Foundation Classes
IFC

   <language, library, programming, standard> (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.
