public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Button Group");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 1));
    Border border = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Examples");
    panel.setBorder(border);
    ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    AbstractButton abstract1 = new JToggleButton("Toggle Button");
    panel.add(abstract1);
    group.add(abstract1);
    AbstractButton abstract2 = new JRadioButton("Radio Button");
    panel.add(abstract2);
    group.add(abstract2);
    AbstractButton abstract3 = new JCheckBox("Check Box");
    panel.add(abstract3);
    group.add(abstract3);
    AbstractButton abstract4 = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Radio Button Menu Item");
    panel.add(abstract4);
    group.add(abstract4);
    AbstractButton abstract5 = new JCheckBoxMenuItem("Check Box Menu Item");
    panel.add(abstract5);
    group.add(abstract5);
    frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setSize(300, 200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    group.setSelected(abstract1.getModel(), true);
    Enumeration elements = group.getElements();
    while (elements.hasMoreElements()) {
      AbstractButton button = (AbstractButton)elements.nextElement();
      if (button.isSelected()) {
