JFrame represents an actual Window (Frame) on the desktop.
JPanel represents a container within some other Window, such as a
JFrame or JDialog.

AWT doesn't have JFrame or JPanel, they are specific to Swing. AWT
does have its own equivalent classes, but I would steer clear of them.
Swing is a lot easy to create useful applications in.
