/**
 * An implementation of a radio button -- an item that can be selected or
 * deselected, and which displays its state to the user.
 * Used with a {@link ButtonGroup} object to create a group of buttons
 * in which only one button at a time can be selected. (Create a ButtonGroup
 * object and use its <code>add</code> method to include the JRadioButton objects
 * in the group.)
 * <blockquote>
 * <strong>Note:</strong>
 * The ButtonGroup object is a logical grouping -- not a physical grouping.
 * To create a button panel, you should still create a {@link JPanel} or similar
 * container-object and add a {@link javax.swing.border.Border} to it to set it off from surrounding
 * components.
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * Buttons can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
 * <code><a href="Action.html">Action</a></code>s.  Using an
 * <code>Action</code> with a button has many benefits beyond directly
 * configuring a button.  Refer to <a href="Action.html#buttonActions">
 * Swing Components Supporting <code>Action</code></a> for more
 * details, and you can find more information in <a
 * href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html">How
 * to Use Actions</a>, a section in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.
 * <p>
 * See <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html">How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons</a>
 * in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>
 * for further documentation.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong> Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
