| /** |
| * A {@link MenuComponent} of the type {@link MenuType#optionGroup}. |
| * <p> |
| * Subclass to create an SPI implementation for the {@link MenuManager} of an |
| * option group. An option group is similar to a |
| * {@linkplain AbstractMenuSection section}, but enforces that only one of the |
| * children are selected at any time. |
| * <p> |
| * Menu components are linked together using URIs, avoiding the need for compile |
| * time dependencies between SPI implementations. To add actions or toggles to |
| * an option group, use the {@link URI} identifying this section as their parent |
| * id. |
| * <p> |
| * <strong>Note:</strong> To avoid conflicts with other plugins, use a unique |
| * URI root that is related to the Java package name, for instance |
| * <code>http://cs.university.ac.uk/myplugin/2008/menu</code>, and use hash |
| * identifiers for each menu item, for instance |
| * <code>http://cs.university.ac.uk/myplugin/2008/menu#run</code> for a "Run" |
| * item. Use flat URI namespaces, don't base a child's URI on the parent's URI, |
| * as this might make it difficult to relocate the parent menu. |
| * <p> |
| * You need to list the {@linkplain Class#getName() fully qualified class name} |
| * (for example <code>com.example.t2plugin.menu.MyMenu</code>) of the option |
| * group implementation in the SPI description resource file |
| * <code>/META-INF/services/net.sf.taverna.t2.ui.menu.MenuComponent</code> so |
| * that it can be discovered by the {@link MenuManager}. This requirement also |
| * applies to parent menu components (except {@link DefaultToolBar} and |
| * {@link DefaultMenuBar}, but ensure they are only listed once. |
