/**
 * An implementation of a radio button menu item.
 * A <code>JRadioButtonMenuItem is
 * a menu item that is part of a group of menu items in which only one
 * item in the group can be selected. The selected item displays its
 * selected state. Selecting it causes any other selected item to
 * switch to the unselected state.
 * To control the selected state of a group of radio button menu items,
 * use a <code>ButtonGroup object.
 * <p>
 * Menu items can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
 * <code>Actions.  Using an
 * <code>Action with a menu item has many benefits beyond directly
 * configuring a menu item.  Refer to <a href="Action.html#buttonActions">
 * Swing Components Supporting <code>Action for more
 * details, and you can find more information in <a
 * href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html">How
 * to Use Actions</a>, a section in The Java Tutorial.
 * <p>
 * For further documentation and examples see
 * <a
 href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/menu.html">How to Use Menus</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:
 * 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™
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
