public class ButtonGroup
extends Object

A ButtonGroup holds a group of Clickable's models and provides unique selection in them. There is capability to add a default selection. Models who want to belong to the group should just add themselves to this group. By doing so they listen to this group for changes.

Setting of the default selection results in its being selected any time setSelected(ButtonModel, boolean) is called. If no default selection is set, the last entry selected is not allowed to deselect.
