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.


Either isSelected/setSelected or
getState/setState can be used
to determine/specify the menu item's selection state. The
preferred methods are isSelected and
setSelected, which work for all menus and buttons.
The getState and setState methods exist for
compatibility with other component sets.


Menu items can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Actions.  Using an
Action with a menu item has many benefits beyond directly
configuring a menu item.  Refer to 
Swing Components Supporting Action for more
details, and you can find more information in How
to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.


For further information and examples of using check box menu items,
see How to Use Menus,
a section in The Java Tutorial.


Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more

Warning:
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™
has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
