/**
 * State model for buttons.
 * <p>
 * This model is used for regular buttons, as well as check boxes
 * and radio buttons, which are special kinds of buttons. In practice,
 * a button's UI takes the responsibility of calling methods on its
 * model to manage the state, as detailed below:
 * <p>
 * In simple terms, pressing and releasing the mouse over a regular
 * button triggers the button and causes and <code>ActionEvent</code>
 * to be fired. The same behavior can be produced via a keyboard key
 * defined by the look and feel of the button (typically the SPACE BAR).
 * Pressing and releasing this key while the button has
 * focus will give the same results. For check boxes and radio buttons, the
 * mouse or keyboard equivalent sequence just described causes the button
 * to become selected.
 * <p>
 * In details, the state model for buttons works as follows
 * when used with the mouse:
 * <br>
 * Pressing the mouse on top of a button makes the model both
 * armed and pressed. As long as the mouse remains down,
 * the model remains pressed, even if the mouse moves
 * outside the button. On the contrary, the model is only
 * armed while the mouse remains pressed within the bounds of
 * the button (it can move in or out of the button, but the model
 * is only armed during the portion of time spent within the button).
 * A button is triggered, and an <code>ActionEvent</code> is fired,
 * when the mouse is released while the model is armed
 * - meaning when it is released over top of the button after the mouse
 * has previously been pressed on that button (and not already released).
 * Upon mouse release, the model becomes unarmed and unpressed.
 * <p>
 * In details, the state model for buttons works as follows
 * when used with the keyboard:
 * <br>
 * Pressing the look and feel defined keyboard key while the button
 * has focus makes the model both armed and pressed. As long as this key
 * remains down, the model remains in this state. Releasing the key sets
 * the model to unarmed and unpressed, triggers the button, and causes an
 * <code>ActionEvent</code> to be fired.
