Common GUI libraries include:

AWT - part of Java SE since version 1.0, replaced by Swing in Java 1.2 
(Swing still uses some AWT)

Swing - part of Java SE since version 1.2, somewhat replaced by JavaFX 
in Oracle Java 8

JavaFX - part of Oracle Java since version 8

GWT - Eclipse project, only available for some platforms

AWT - some but the a lot may have been lost due to age

Swing - lots

JavaFX - some (note that you need JavaFX 2.x or newer as JavaFX 1.x was 
very different)

GWT - very little
