*
* While <code>ButtonGroup</code> can be used for all buttons that are derived

* {@link JToggleButton}s.
*
* You could use it for {@link JCheckBox}es, but for the sake of usability
* this is strongly discouraged because the common expectation of checkboxes
* is that the user is allowed to make multiple selections.
*
* It makes no sense to put {@link JButton}s or {@link JMenuItem}s in
* a <code>ButtonGroup</code> because they don't implement the
* <code>selected</code> semantics.
