Re: id attribute of buttongroup tag

I finally took the time to look at the ButtonGroup issue - and this  
really was an issue.

Unfortunately, the JButtonGroup is not a Component and therefore  
wasn't be handled by the idmap etc..
Automatic mapping only works with components that inherit from  
Component.

Even worse, manually mapping doesn't work either since the  
SwingEngine's find method only returns Components.
A work around is also hard to find since after a J(Radio)Button has  
be instantiated and added into a ButtonGroup, neither the button nor  
its buttonmodel seem to know about it - at least there are no getters  
one could ask for this kind of information.

While I'd rather spend my time working on Swixml 2.0, this issue  
certainly deserves fixing and will be addressed in the upcoming point  
release.

Here is the deal:

Automatic mapping of ButtonGroups will work.
If the buttengroup tag was given an id attribute, the ButtonGroup  
object will also be put into the idmap accessiable via SwingEngine's  
getIdMap() method.
However, since the SwingEngine's find() method returns a Component  
and I don't want to change the signature of that method - at least  
not in the1.x code-line, the find method will NOT return the  
ButtonGroup object.
While this is not a great (consistent) solution, it at least allows  
you to get a handle on the ButtonGroup.
