/**
 * A menu item that can be selected or deselected. If selected, the menu
 * item typically appears with a checkmark next to it. If unselected or
 * deselected, the menu item appears without a checkmark. Like a regular
 * menu item, a check box menu item can have either text or a graphic
 * icon associated with it, or both.
 * <p>
 * Either <code>isSelected</code>/<code>setSelected</code> or 
 * <code>getState</code>/<code>setState</code> can be used
 * to determine/specify the menu item's selection state. The
 * preferred methods are <code>isSelected</code> and
 * <code>setSelected</code>, which work for all menus and buttons.
 * The <code>getState</code> and <code>setState</code> methods exist for
 * compatibility with other component sets.
 * <p>
 * Menu items 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 menu item has many benefits beyond directly
 * configuring a menu item.  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
 * href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html">How
 * to Use Actions</a>, a section in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.
 * <p>
 * For further information and examples of using check box menu items,
 * see <a
 href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/menu.html">How to Use Menus</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong> Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * 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<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
