What charecters the lightweight component have?

[Bruce Sam]

I'm reading <Thinking in Java>(3rd),I see a sentence
"lightweight".Because I'm a newer in Java,so I can't understand what
does the lightweight means.If a component is lightweight,what
charecters it have?

A "lightweight" component doesn't have a native peer.
