Car radios and some table radios have buttons
for selecting a radio station.
Only one station is selected at a time.
When one button is pushed in the
previous selection pops out.
The Swing class
JRadioButton
works the same way.
Radio buttons must be members of a
ButtonGroup

Only one button of a button group is
selected at a time.

as follows.
There are other constructors that may be useful
(see the Java documentation).

are the words that appear on the button
If selected
is true then this button
starts out selected.
Only one button of a button group may start out as selected.
JRadioButton
is a child class of
JAbstractButton
.
Radio buttons and push buttons have many methods
in common.
