/**
* An implementation of a check box -- an item that can be selected or
* deselected, and which displays its state to the user.
* By convention, any number of check boxes in a group can be selected.
* 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 examples and information on using check boxes.
* <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

* to Use Actions</a>, a section in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.
