/**
 * This is a JPanel subclass which provides a special functionality
 * for its children buttons components.
 * It makes it possible to transfer focus from button to button
 * with help of arrows keys.
 * <p>The following example shows how to enable cyclic focus transfer

 * import javax.swing.*;

 *     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 *         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
 *             public void run() {
 *                 final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 *                 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 *       
 *                 JXButtonPanel panel = new JXButtonPanel();
 *                 panel.setCyclic(true);
 *       
 *                 panel.add(new JButton("One"));
 *                 panel.add(new JButton("Two"));

 *             }
 *         });
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre> 
 *  
 * If your buttons inside JXButtonPanel are added to one ButtonGroup
 * arrow keys will transfer selection between them as well as they do it for focus<p>
 * Note: you can control this behaviour with setGroupSelectionFollowFocus(boolean)
